A woman sued a computer keyboard manufacturer, charging that her repetitive stress injuries were caused by the keyboard. The injury awarded about $3.5 million for pain and suffering, but the court then set aside that award as being unreasonable compensation. In making this determination, the court identified a "normative" group of 27 similar cases and specified a reasonable award as one within two standard deviations of the mean of the awards in the 27 cases. The 27 awards are (in $1000s) given below. What is the maximum possible amount that could be awarded under the two-standard-deviation rule? (Enter your answer to the nearest thousand.)
