2 In the colleges in three regions of a particular country, students are given individual targets to achieve. Their performance is measured against their individual target and graded as 'above target', 'on target' or 'below target'. For a random sample of students from each of the three regions, the observed frequencies are summarised in the following table.
| \multirow{2}{*}{} | Region | |
| | A | B | C | Total |
| \multirow{3}{*}{Performance} | Above target | 62 | 41 | 44 | 147 |
| On target | 102 | 94 | 95 | 291 |
| Below target | 56 | 45 | 61 | 162 |
| Total | 220 | 180 | 200 | 600 |
Test, at the 10\% significance level, whether performance is independent of region.
