1. This is the 1-way distance of all trips. A trip from Washington to Baltimore and return would be considered as 2 trips of 40 miles each.
2. The mean is shown to indicate the arithmetic average of all the trips; the median indicates that length of trip so chosen that thee number of shorter trips and the number of longer trips are equal.
