Let's analyze the two-way table to confirm the statements based on the given data.

Data from the table:

  • Home Games: Wins = 6, Losses = 10
  • Away Games: Wins = 3, Losses = 8
  1. The team is twice as likely to win an away game as they are a home game.

    • Home game win percentage = 6 / (6 + 10) = 6 / 16 = 0.375 (or 37.5%)
    • Away game win percentage = 3 / (3 + 8) = 3 / 11 ≈ 0.273 (or 27.3%)
    • This statement is not supported.
  2. The team wins three-fifths of their home games.

    • Total home games = 6 (wins) + 10 (losses) = 16
    • Win percentage = 6 / 16 = 0.375 = 3/8, not 3/5.
    • This statement is not supported.
  3. The team wins one-half of their games.

    • Total games = (6 + 10) + (3 + 8) = 27
    • Total wins = 6 + 3 = 9
    • Win percentage = 9 / 27 = 1/3, not 1/2.
    • This statement is not supported.
  4. The team played a total of 27 games.

    • Total games = (6 + 10) + (3 + 8) = 27.
    • This statement is supported.
  5. The team won a total of 6 games.

    • Total wins = 6 (home) + 3 (away) = 9 games.
    • This statement is not supported.
  6. The team lost more home games than away games.

    • Home losses = 10, Away losses = 8.
    • Since 10 > 8, this statement is supported.

Final Result of Supported Statements:

  • The team played a total of 27 games. (Supported)
  • The team lost more home games than away games. (Supported)

Thus, the statements that are supported by the data are:

  • The team played a total of 27 games.
  • The team lost more home games than away games.
