In his book “Taking Chances”, John Haigh drafted a table that calculates the probabilities of a team scoring 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 or more goals based on their average number of goals per game.

Does anyone know how to calculate these probabilities?
So how did he get to these %?
Maybe someone could explain it by showing how to calculate it for for example "average = 1.0", "average = 1.4" and "average = 1.8"
My math skills are not that good ;-)
Your help would be highly appreciated.
