04 / What these numbers can say

Keep the conclusion proportional.

Synthetic demonstration with n = 50 analysis rows; not participant findings. No students have been surveyed in this demo.

Convenience sample; self-reported, cross-sectional answers. These data cannot establish causation, represent all NYU students, or measure retention. Recommendation intention is not retention. Research-hours categories are ordered groups, not exact hours.
