Maths Question - Goals

Need someone to confirm the following (it’s simple GCSE question and think I know but want someone to double check!!!!) If over 32 football matches the goal distribution is as follows: Total number of goals: Matches 0 goals 1 goal 2 goals 3 goals 4 goals over 5 goals 32 1 match 6 matches 8 matches 8 matches 3 matches 6 matches So in 1 match out of the 32 there were no goals scored, in 6 matches out of the 32 1 goal was scored, in 8 matches out of the 32 2 goals were scored etc. Therefore in % terms: 0 goals 1 goal 2 goal 3 goal 4 goal Over 5 goal 3.13% 18.75% 25% 25% 9.38% 18.75% What is the likely hood of a match having over 0 goals, over 1 goal etc? Now if there is a 25% chance of there being 3 goals exactly then there must be a 75% of there not being 3 goals. But I want to know what’s the likelihood of there being more than 3 goals. (I make it around 28.125%)
