This isn't a basic question you've seen everywhere!!
I am curious if the light level is correlated with the timing frequency of spawning mobs. Will areas that have an ambient light level or 4 spawn mobs quicker that areas with a light level of 7?
I haven't seen any statistical evidence on the subject at all, including the Minecraft Wiki. I could test this, but was curious if anyone knows about the subject
As long as the light level is below seven hostile mobs will spawn; these mobs will spawn at the same rate no matter if it be light level 0 or 7.
You are wrong. I have tested with this.I put a room with redstone torches (Light level of 7) and another room with complete darkness. After building the two, I turned the difficulty to peaceful and back to normal. I then went around 30 blocks away for the mobs to spawn. After 20 seconds, I checked how many mobs spawned in the two rooms. Light level 7 room: 6 mobs Light level 0 room: 17. Notch said that they were the same spawn rate but in fact he never implemented that. And btw slimes can spawn on any light level.

Sorry!
I am planning to test it eventually. But before I do, I want to know if anybody knows the answer to my question first
Yes, but with a focus on how long it takes between each
successful spawn event
