Abstract: For a compact surface $S$ with constant negative curvature $-kappa$ (for some $kappa>0$) and genus $ggeq2$, we show that the tails of the distribution of $$ (where $$ is the intersection number of the closed geodesics and $l(cdot)$ denotes the geometric length) are estimated by a decreasing exponential function. As a consequence, we find the asymptotic normalized average of the intersection numbers of pairs of closed geodesics on $S$. In addition, we prove that the size of the sets of geodesics whose $T$-self-intersection number is not close to $kappa{T}^2/(2p{i}^2(g-1))$ is also estimated by a decreasing exponential function. And, as a corollary of the latter, we obtain a result of S. Lalley which states that most of the closed geodesics $alpha$ on $S$ with $l(alpha)leqT$ have roughly $kappal(alpha{)}^2/(2p{i}^2(g-1))$ self-intersections, when $T$ is large.
