7. Suppose that ladybugs are distributed randomly and uniformly on the leaves of apple trees at a rate of A per tree. In an orchard of 100 trees, 58 contained no ladybugs, and 42 contained one or more ladybugs. What is the maximum likelihood estimate of 2? Hints: There are two different distributions involved in this question, and you will need to use the Invariance Property. A) 0.42 B) 0.58 C) 0.545 D) 4.060
