At a conference for teachers of business statistics, n = 45 participants were randomized to two experimental groups. One group answered the question "Do you think the population of Turkey is more than 10 million?"  The other group answered the question " Do you think the population of Turkey is more than 70 million?" All participants were then asked to estimate the population of Turkey, to the nearest million. If the anchoring effect holds, participants asked if the population is more than 70 million would tend to give higher estimates than those who were asked if it is more than 10 million.
