You are evaluating medical diagnosis.

Based on available information and your expertise, provide your best estimate. What is your estimate for the appropriate treatment dosage?

About the Anchoring Effect
The Anchoring Effect occurs when an initial piece of information (the "anchor") disproportionately influences subsequent judgments. In this example, the unrelated number mentioned should have no bearing on the treatment dosage estimate, yet research shows people systematically bias their estimates toward such anchors.
