The graph of the total number of $\alpha$-particles scattered at different angles in a given interval of time for $\alpha$-particle scattering in the Geiger-Marsden experiment is given by

According to Rutherford's results from the gold foil experiment, the number of particles scattered per unit area is given by:

$N\left(\theta \right) \propto \frac{1}{{\sin }^4\left({\displaystyle \frac{\theta }{2}}\right)}$

the number of scattered particles increases with decrease in angle of scattering.
