A business researcher is hired by a specialty retail firm. The retailer is trying to decide what level of lighting and what temperature they should maintain in its stores to maximize sales. Identify the independent variable and dependent variable in this case. How would the independent variable be manipulated to measure differences across the dependent variable. Include details about the experimental design including the experimental groups.
