Alice is writing a text message and just typed "complament". The messaging app has a very simple spell checker, which is now trying to decide whether this was a mispelling of the word "complement" or the word "compliment" (Assume no other words are possible). Based on her previous conversations, the app computed the following: - Alice uses the word "complement" 10 times more often than "compliment" (10p vs. p ). - When Alice intends to write the word "complement", she misspells as "complament" with probability q. On the other hand, when she means to write "compliment", she misspells it as "complament" with 5q probability. (q vs. 5q ) Which word ("complement" or"compliment") is most likely to be intended by Alice? Show mathematically in terms of p and q. In your solution, let A denote the event complament, I denote compliment and E denote complement
