A certain species of European mite is capable of damaging
A certain species of European mite is capable of damaging the bark on orange trees. The following are the results of inspections done on one hundred saplings chosen at random from a large orchard. The measurement recorded, X, is the number of mite infestations found on the trunk of each tree. Is it reasonable to assume that X is a Poisson random variable? If not, which of the Poisson model assumptions is likely not to be true?
No. of Infestations, k No. of Trees

1…………………………….. 20
2…………………………….. 21
3…………………………….. 1
