In 1997 a woman sued a computer keyboard manufacturer, chargingthat her repetitive stress injuries were caused by the keyboard(Genessey v. Digital Equipment Corporation). The jury awarded about$3.5 million for pain and suffering, but the court then set asidethat award as being unreasonable compensation. In making thisdetermination, the court identified a \"normative\" group of 27similar cases and specified a reasonable award as one within 2standard deviations of the mean of the awards in the 27 cases. The27 award amounts (in thousands of dollars) are in the table below.39 60 75 115 135 140 149 150 236 290 340 410 600 750 750 750 10501100 1139 1150 1200 1200 1250 1578 1700 1825 2000 What is themaximum possible amount that could be awarded under the \"2-standarddeviations rule\"? (Round all intermediate calculations and theanswer to three decimal places.)
