    Solution

    Anchoring is a cognitive bias that describes the common human tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered (the "anchor'') when making decisions. During decision making, anchoring occurs when individuals use an initial piece of information to make subsequent judgments. This bias is the tendency to jump to conclusions.
