A shop selling electrical goods has a team of three salespeople: Avril, Ben and Charlie. The manager wishes to investigate whether the salespeople are equally successful at selling particular types of items. The following table gives a record of a random sample of 250 sales of laptops, cameras and televisions, with the number sold by each of the three salespeople.
| Laptop | Camera | Television | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avril | 31 | 40 | 24 |
| Ben | 23 | 45 | 29 |
| Charlie | 21 | 25 | 12 |
Test, at the \(10 \%\) significance level, whether there is independence between the type of item sold and the salesperson.
