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 were (in $1000s) 39, 62, 72, 115, 138, 143, 147, 152, 238, 290, 340, 410, 600, 750, 750, 752, 1050, 1100, 1136, 1150, 1200, 1200, 1250, 1577, 1700, 1825, and 2000, from which Ex¡ = 20,186, Ex? = 24,658,478.
