Problem 2.1 (c)

The following table lists the number of cells that were observed to have $k$ hits (this is Clarke's actual data!).

number of hits ($k$)	0	1	2	3	4	5 and over
number of cells with $k$ hits	229	211	93	35	7	1

(c) Using the above data, calculate the ML estimate $\hat{\lambda}$ for the Poisson distribution.
