Question: For my data analysis project proposal, I wanted to conduct a quantitative study exploring the difference between gaming genre preferences. I am interested in this topic, as the demographic profile for video gaming is diverse and transcends the teenage male stereotype as increasing numbers of women are entering the video game market. The purpose of this research would be to explore video game preference among different age groups and gender types. Consistent with this purpose, the research question is: are there any significant differences in a respondent's choice of gaming genre according to age and gender? This said, I was wondering if someone could help me identify:

1. what the variables to be included in my analysis are (state what type of variable and what the variables in my research question are)

2. What my hypothesis would be (alternative and null hypothesis)

3. An effective way to collect my data (such as online surveys, etc.)

4. Which significant test I would run (such as t-test, ANOVA, etc.)
