Use the table to answer the question. Letters: M O D E L S. Probability: 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6. Use the uniform probabilty model to find the probability of selecting a consonant letter from the word MODELS.

Answer 1

There are a total of 6 letters in the word MODELS. Of those 6 letters, 4 are consonants (M, D, L, S) and 2 are vowels (O, E).

The probability of selecting a consonant letter from the word MODELS is the sum of the individual probabilities of selecting each consonant letter:
1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 4/6 = 2/3

Therefore, the probability of selecting a consonant letter from the word MODELS is 2/3.
