Which type of evidence does the author use in this excerpt to support the claim that some sumo wrestlers will intentionally lose a match?

The type of evidence the author uses in this excerpt is statistical evidence. Mentioning that the 7-7 wrestlers win only 40 percent of the rematches, when they have for a fact won 50% of the time.

Statistical evidence is made with statistical methods used to increase the understanding of the facts, and the proof demonstrates the validity and logic of inference with explicit reference to a hypothesis, facts, tests and odds.

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
