The Chi square test is appropriate for this scenario because it is used to determine if there is a significant association between two categorical variables (in this case, gender and channel preference). ANOVA and t-tests are used for comparing means across groups, which is not applicable here since the data are categorical. The p-value is a component of statistical tests, not a test itself.
