Answer: 4 out of 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Total letters in "MASSACHUSSETT " = 13

Number of S = 4

Probability of an event = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

The probability of selecting the  letter S = [tex]\dfrac4{13}[/tex]  [already in lowest term as gcd(4,13)=1]

Hence, the probability of selecting the  letter S = 4 out of 13.
