Consider a Study Testing Whether the Number of Birds Resting

Multiple Choice

Consider a study testing whether the number of birds resting on streetlights is random. Researchers surveyed 30 randomly chosen streetlights in a city known to have many birds and counted the number of birds resting on each streetlight. Data on the number of birds seen on the lights are shown. (Note: No lights had more than three birds.) Assuming a Poisson process, what is the expected number of streetlights with three or more birds?
