Default Probability and expected value! Urgent

There are 11 boxes and 7 balls. The balls are dropped independently and uniformly at random in to the boxes. Find the expected number of boxes which contain no more than 1 ball.

The key part of this problem is finding the probabilty of boxes that containes no more than 1 ball. But I dont know how to get there...

Thanks very much for the help.
