The five most common words appearing in spam emails are shipping! today! here! available, and fingertips! (Andy Greenberg, "The Most Common Words In Spam Email;' Fo1beswebsite, March 17, 2010). Many spam filters separate spam from ham (email not considered to be spam) through the application of the Bayes theorem. Suppose that for one email account, 1 in every 10 messages is spam and the proportions of spam messages that have the five most common words in spam email are given below. shipping! .051 today! .045 here! .034 available .014 fingertips! .014 Also suppose that the proportions of ham messages that have these words are shipping! .0015 today! .0022 here .0022 available .0041 fingertips! .0011 If a message includes the word shipping! what is the probability the message is spam?
