A simple question......

    If you are comparing binary data from two groups with underlying
populations that are normal.....I assume you can use a two sample Z
test for binomial proportions or a chi squared test on a 2x2
contingency table.

    What happens if the underlying populations aren't normal?  I know
the Z test is out.  Can you still employ the chi squared distribution.
 If not, what non-parametric test could you use?

    Thanks!!
