7.46     A poll had a sample of 66 people choose their favorite Skittles flavor by color (green, orange, purple, red or yellow).  A separate poll sampled 91 people, again asking them their favorite Skittles flavor, but rather than by color they asked by the actual flavor (lime, orange, grape, strawberry, and lemon, respectively).  The table below shows the results from both polls.  Does the way people choose their favorite Skittles type, by color or flavor, appear to be related to which type is chosen?
