Someone asks you to estimate the number of people in your social psychology class.  You don't know the answer, but if you were to use the anchoring heuristic you would
   a.   think of how many people are in most of your classes and increase your estimate,
since it is a large class
   b.   count all the people whose names or faces you can remember
   c.   think of how many people sit in the front row and multiply by the number of
rows
   d.   think of the last number you remember hearing

Thanks for the reply. I was debating whether it was this one, since I read something similar to it in chapter 6. How certain are you?

Hope to hear from you soon.

I see your concern, but I'm pretty certain that's the correct answer. Let me know, otherwise mark the thread solved.
