Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The friend hypothesized that bright lighting had been installed around the perimeter of the store. This is based on the fact that the store owner had mentioned to the friend that bright lighting has been known to reduce the rate of vandalism, and three months after that conversation, the rate of vandalism at the store owner’s store had dropped to zero.

Notable Assumptions

The friend assumes that there’s no other explanation for why the rate of vandalism dropped besides the installation of bright lighting around the perimeter. The friend also assumed that it was possible for the store owner to install bright lighting around the perimeter.
