Bayes' rule can be used to identify and filter spam emails and text messages. This question refers to a large collection of real

SMS text messages from participating cellphone users.1 In this collection, 747 of the 5574 total messages () are identified as spam. The word "text" (or "txt") is contained in of all messages, and in of all spam messages. What is the probability that a message is spam, given that it contains the word "text" (or "txt")? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer:

0.134 = 13.4% probability that a message is spam, given that it contains the word "text" (or "txt")

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Contains the word "text", or "txt".

Event B: Spam message.

The word "text" (or "txt") is contained in of all messages, and in of all spam messages.

This means that P(A) = 1

747 of the 5574 total messages () are identified as spam. The word "text" (or "txt") is contained in all of them. So

P(A \cap B) = \frac{747}{5574} = 0.134

Then

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.134}{1} = 0.134

0.134 = 13.4% probability that a message is spam, given that it contains the word "text" (or "txt")

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

{5}^{3}  \times  {5}^{x}  =  {5}^{7}  \\ 3 + x = 7 \\ x = 4

( {q}^{2} )^{y}  =  {q}^{6}  \\ 2y = 6 \\ y = 3

{1000}^{m}  \div  {100}^{n} =  {10}^{z}   \\  \frac{1000 ^{m} }{ {100}^{n} }  =  {10}^{z}  \\   \\ {10}^{m - n}  =  {10}^{z}

Can I have the brainliest please?

Jordan throws a ball from a cliff 12 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. In the following func
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Your answer will be the third function

Step-by-step explanation:

The base function you need to know is h(t)= 1/2at^2

Your acceleration in this problem is going to be gravity which they give to you, 32 feet per second squared. Since the ball is falling, it means it will have negative acceleration. Now you have the equation h(t)= -16t^2. The final step is to add the initial height from which the ball was dropped giving you: h(t)= -16t^2 +12
