Subclaims¶

q3 i? Summer-enrolled students were less likely to unsubscribe cumulatively (13% vs 17%, χ²(1) = 3.88, p < .05) and more likely to respond at least once (28% vs 14%, χ²(1) = 49.84, p < .001) than non-summer-enrolled students. → Ross E. O'Hara 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive engagement analysis of the 1,367 treatment-group students reported in Table 3: 96% received nudges, students received approximately 12 nudges each and answered 25% of questions; 19% responded at least once. Comparisons between summer-enrolled and non-enrolled students are reported with the printed chi-square statistics.

"these students were less likely to unsubscribe (13% vs. 17%), χ2(1) = 3.88, p < .05, and more likely to respond at least once (28% vs. 14%), χ2(1) = 49.84, p < .001."
