How to calculate the solution for a survey?

I have a survey I did about colors for a project at school. The questions are What is your Gender and What is your favorite color? I also have two smaller questions which are Does you color choice change if you were choosing the color of a specific object and Does it matter if you are choosing from a selection rather than by free will. The last two questions are sorted into Yes or No based on if the person changed at least two colors and if they changed the color for the selection. I think this is the needed information. Please help and make it understandable for a 6th grader
How to calculate the solution for a survey?
You're going to need to run an analysis called a %26quot;chi square%26quot; to determine if there are differences by gender (or other dichotomous variables of interest to you)..



You can go to the page I've cited below, scroll about halfway down. Plug in your data and click %26quot;calculate%26quot;.



You'll also want to report some descriptive statistics such as the percentage of people who chose each color (by gender and overall), percentage of people (by gender and overall) who chose the object colors, etc.



Good luck on your project,
