A lighting company ships decorative strings of lights across the country. The strings of lights range in weight from 50 to 221 ounces. The average weight of the strings of lights is 147 ounces with a standard deviation of 55 ounces. The quartiles and median are 80, 154 and 205 ounces respectively. The strings of lights are shipped in packaging material that adds an additional 5.4 pounds. Before shipping the company needs to convert all ounces to pounds (16 ounces = 1 pound), then add the weight of the packaging material. Find the value of the statistic including the packaging material. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth place. The standard deviation
