8 A manufacturer produces three types of car: hatchbacks, saloons and estates. Each type of car is available in one of three colours: silver, blue and red. The manufacturer wants to know whether the popularity of the colour of the car is related to the type of car. A random sample of 300 cars chosen by customers gives the information summarised in the following table.
