Given that the probability of the app correctly interpreting a handwritten word is \( \frac{8}{9} \), we can analyze the statements:
- A probability of \( \frac{8}{9} \) indicates that there is a very high likelihood (approximately 88.89%) that the app will correctly interpret the word.
- This high probability suggests that it is likely (but not certain) that the word will be correctly interpreted.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**C. It is likely that the handwritten word will be correctly interpreted.**
- A probability of \( \frac{8}{9} \) indicates that there is a very high likelihood (approximately 88.89%) that the app will correctly interpret the word.
- This high probability suggests that it is likely (but not certain) that the word will be correctly interpreted.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**C. It is likely that the handwritten word will be correctly interpreted.**
