Lambda measures the strength of association between two variables, ranging from 0 (no association) to 1 (perfect association). In this case, Lambda is .34, indicating a moderate association between gender and attending formal religious services. Therefore, knowing a person's gender improves our ability to predict whether or not they attend religious services by 34%. However, Lambda does not provide information about which gender is more likely to attend church.
