All of our Solar Systems gas giants have more moons than the terrestrial planets. Jupiter (63), Saturn (62), Uranus (27) and Neptune (13).
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Bigger planets are more likely to be gas giants while smaller ones are more likely to be terrestrial. This of course is not the answer to your question which is, of all planets that may exist, is there a greater likelyhood of there being terrestrial planets or gas giants?

Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.
They are larger and so they have more gravity.

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.

Gas giants have a higher mass. This means that the gas giants have a more gravity to hold moons in orbit around them.

Bigger planets are more likely to be gas giants while smaller ones are more likely to be terrestrial. This of course is not the answer to your question which is, of all planets that may exist, is there a greater likelyhood of there being terrestrial planets or gas giants?
