The injury awarded about $3.5 million for pain and suffering, but the court then set aside that award as being unreasonable compensation.

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.)
