Unfortunately, there is no given table. However, assuming no air resistance, the projectile moves in constant acceleration in the y-axis, while constant velocity in the x-axis. If the total time of flight is 6 seconds, then at 3 seconds the reaches its maximum height. Also, there is no given initial velocity, which means any useful calculation is impossible.
