A pathologist has been studying the frequency of bacterial colonies within the field of a microscope using samples of throat cultures from healthy adults. Long-term history indicates that there is an average of 2.90 bacteria colonies per field. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of bacteria colonies per field. Let O represent the number of observed bacteria colonies per field for throat cultures from healthy adults. A random sample of 100 healthy adults gave the following information: r 0 1 2 3 4 5 or more
O 11 14 30 17 22 6

The pathologist wants to use a Poisson distribution to represent the probability of r, the number of bacteria colonies per field. The Poisson distribution is given below.
P(r) = e^−λλr / r!
Here λ = 2.90 is the average number of bacteria colonies per field.

Required:
Compute P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more.
