Using Poisson to calculate the probability of total number of goals scored in a certain number of matches

98 Views Asked by At

I know I can use the Poisson distribution to calculate the probability of x goals being scored in a match, based on the average number of goals scored per game in that particular league.

However, how do I calculate the probability of, for example, at least 31 goals scored in total across 8 matches in the same league, assuming I know the average number of goals scored per match in that league is 3.3?

Thanks.
