Identifying Spam Text Messages
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. In this collection, 747 of the 5574 total messages (13.40 % ) are identified as spam. Of
all spam messages, 17.00 % contain both the word "free" and the word "text" (or "txt"). For example, "Congrats!! You are selected to
receive a free camera phone, txt ****** to claim your prize." Of all non-spam messages, 0.06 % contain both the word "free" and the
word "text" (or "bxt").
Given that a message contains both the word "free" and the word "text" (or "txt"), what is the probability that it is spam?
Round your answer to three decimal places.
P(Spam if Text and Free) = i

TOR is free and open-source web browser (https://www.torproject.org/) enabling anonymous communication. A researcher wanted to learn about how many College students have heard of the TOR web browser. She randomly selected 234 LaGuardia students and found that 21 have heard of the TOR web browser. She concluded that approximately 9% of LaGuardia students have heard of TOR.

- Why is it important to ensure that research participants' names and other identifying information are not included in the notes and other researcher data? Select one. O Only certain studies need to keep participant information confidential. O Anonymity protects the research participant from being discriminated against in the event another agency/entity has access to the raw data. O It is not necessary for respondents to remain anonymous in research. O In double blind studies, the participant does not need to remain anonymous.arrow_forwardTablet PC Comparison provides a wide variety of information about tablet computers.
