The expected frequency for any cell in a contingency table for a chi-square test is calculated using the formula: (Row Total * Column Total) / Grand Total. Here, the row total for males is 20, the column total for registered voters is 60, and the grand total is 100. So, the expected frequency for males who are registered voters is (20 * 60) / 100 = 12.
