Abstract
We show that the average or expected absolute value of the signatures of all 2-bridge knots with crossing number approaches . Baader, Kjuchukova, Lewark, Misev, and Ray consider a model for 2-bridge knot diagrams indexed by diagrammatic crossing number and show that the average 4-genus is sublinear in . We build upon this result in two ways to obtain an upper bound for the average 4-genus of a 2-bridge knot: our model is indexed by crossing number and gives a specific sublinear upper bound of .
