The ﹩z\gtrsim 6﹩ SDSS quasar LF calculated from Jiang et al. (2016) is shown with black symbols and 1σ error bars. The lines show the expected number of lensed quasars assuming a bright-end slope of the intrinsic quasar LF of ﹩\beta =2.7,3.2,3.7,4.2﹩, as indicated in the legend. The lensing probability model (Pacucci & Loeb 2019) assumes the detection of one quasar with ﹩\mu =450﹩ in the M1450 ≈ −29 luminosity bin.
