I am tried to clip the MrSid image highlighted in the table of contents using the export data option and the clip (data management) tool and neither work. The export data option is not there when you right click on the sid layer in the table of contents and the sid layer does not even show up in the clip tool as a potential layer to clip. Can someone please advise? Thanks.

I don't understand why this isn't working. It works on my computer, although I do see in your screenshot that the *sid file is not offered as an available input.
the Help doc here Clip—Help | ArcGIS Desktop confirms it shouldn't be a licensing problem (I have ArcMap Advanced, thought you might have Basic) so it should work.
Note instead of running the GP tool, you can do a clip using the Image Analysis window (IAW).
Note that the clipped image from IAW is virtual, on screen only, so then you'd need to Export (right click in table of contents) and Save As, noting that you can't write out *.sid files in ArcMap, so you'd have to save a TIFF or other format. (By default it tries to write a raster into a database, so you may want to change this to a file path and then end filename with *.tif).
Also, in the Export step it may try to promote your data to 16 bit and set NoData value to 256, so I assume you'd want to set this value to 0.

Thanks George. I am using the copy raster in arccatalog suggested from your other thread: https://community.esri.com/message/379970?commentID=379970#comment-379970 . I get errors:
Any advice?

Read only.. isn't correct then
So Raster file formats—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
the above is only partially correct or is there more offered if you have the Data Interoperability extension?
I still cannot save to another format by doing a right click sand save as for the sid file in the table of contents. I also do not know how to specify how to clip the image using selected polygons in the image analysis window. View screen:
