Melee attack rolls generally use Strength as their ability modifier.

$$Melee\ attack\ roll\ result = d20\ roll + Strength\ modifier + proficiency\ bonus + other\ bonuses + penalties$$

Ranged attack rolls generally use Dexterity as their ability modifier.

$$Ranged\ attack\ roll\ result = d20\ roll + Dexterity\ modifier + proficiency\ bonus + other\ bonuses + penalties$$
