   2. Ensuring maximum profit extraction
   3. Eliminating all price variations
   4. Maximizing the number of test variants

6. A pricing experiment that offers different prices to different customers for the same product without justification could violate which ethical principle?

   1. Price discrimination laws
   2. Profit maximization
   3. Market efficiency

   1. Email open rate
   2. Customer lifetime value
   3. Number of website visitors
