Solution
To find the probability that the team won a game if it played at Daryl Fields, we need to divide the number of games won at Daryl Fields by the total number of games played at Daryl Fields.
The number of games won at Daryl Fields is 1 and the total number of games played at Daryl Fields is 1 (wins) + 9 (losses) = 10.
So, the probability is 1/10 = 0.10.
Therefore, the correct answer is b.) 0.10.
