    The document discusses using a chi-square test to determine if there is a significant difference between the observed frequencies in a contingency table and the frequencies that would be expected if no association existed between the variables. It provides an example contingency table examining whether men are more likely to receive recommendations for cardiac catheterization procedures than women based on initial testing results.
