Answer:lower than Ray's

Explanation:

Anchoring is a cognitive bias in which a person relies mostly on the previous or initial Information presented to make a decision, so they use this initial Information as an anchor when making decisions.

Louisa has a report that says over the last year, children at School A had no recess time, this information is what Louisa will use to make her recommendation. Based on this information she has, there was no recess available she is likely to consider a lesser time for recess. Previously children didn't have a recess time so she is likely to not consider that they need any more time of recess.
