5. If you want to know how important spam filters are to your online experience, try turning themoff for a day. You'll quickly see why these tools we tend to take for granted are so essential.Generally speaking, a filtering solution applied to your email system uses a set of protocols todetermine which incoming messages are spam and which are not. What the filters checks oncan vary, but often they all do basically the same thing: scan header information for evidenceof malice, look up senders on blacklists of known spammers, and filter content for patterns thatpoint to junk mail.Suppose that a particular spam filter uses a points-based system in which various aspects of anemail trigger an accumulation of points – with 100 points being the maximum and stronglyindicating spam. So, more points for a particular email becomes stronger evidence that it isspam. After accumulating a sufficient number of points, the spam filter classifies the email asand it does not reach your inbox.spamThis process is similar to hypothesis testing in the following way for each email it reviews:Họ: The email is a real message (not spam)HA: The email is spamUsing the above hypothesis setting context, answer the following questions usinglanguage/terms we have covered related to hypothesis testing:a) When the filter allows spam to slip through into your inbox, which kind of error is that?Explain in terms of the hypotheses above.b) Which kind of error is it when a real (i.e., non-spam) email gets classified as spam and doesnot get to your inbox? Explain in terms of the hypotheses above.c) Suppose that this particular spam filter classifies spam as any email getting 50 points orhigher. However, you reset the filter to use 60 points or higher before classifying it as spam.Is that analogous to choosing a higher or lower alpha level for a hypothesis test. Explain interms of the hypotheses above.d) What impact does this change in the spam cutoff value have on the chance of each type oferror in hypothesis testing? Explain.
