Spam filters are built on principles similar to those used in logistic regression. We fit a probability that each message is spam or not spam. We have several variables for each email. Here are a few: to_multiple=1 if there are multiple recipients, winner=1 if the word 'winner' appears in the subject line, format=1 if the email is poorly formatted, re_subj=1 if "re" appears in the subject line. A logistic model was fit to a dataset with the following output:

Estimate SE Z Pr(>|Z|)
(Intercept) -0.8161 0.086 -9.4895 0
to_multiple -2.5651 0.3052 -8.4047 0
winner 1.5801 0.3156 5.0067 0
format -0.1528 0.1136 -1.3451 0.1786
re_subj -2.8401 0.363 -7.824 0


(a) Write down the model using the coefficients from the model fit.
log_odds(spam) = -0.8161 + -2.5651 + to_multiple + 1.5801 winner + -0.1528 format + -2.8401 re_subj

(b) Suppose we have an observation where to_multiple=0, winner=1, format=0, and re_subj=0. What is the predicted probability that this message is spam?
answer put: 0.682
My answer for predicted probability was wrong. Please help me figure out why?
