Abstract: In 2016, Balakrishnan-Ho-Kaplan-Spicer-Stein-Weigandt produced a database of elliptic curves over $mathbbQ$ ordered by height in which they computed the rank, the size of the $2$-Selmer group, and other arithmetic invariants. They observed that after a certain point, the average rank seemed to decrease as the height increased. Here we consider the family of elliptic curves over $mathbbQ$ whose rational torsion subgroup is isomorphic to $mathbbZ/2mathbbZimesmathbbZ/8mathbbZ$. Conditional on GRH and BSD, we compute the rank of $92\mathrm{\%}$ of the $202461$ curves with parameter height less than $10^3$. We also compute the size of the $2$-Selmer group and the Tamagawa product, and prove that their averages tend to infinity for this family.
