STEP 1

What is this asking?
Find the middle value of the distances Edwin drove, when those distances are arranged in order.
Watch out!
Don't forget to sort the distances first!
A common mistake is to just pick the middle number from the original list.

STEP 2

1. Arrange the Mileages
2. Find the Median

STEP 3

Let's arrange these mileages in order from least to greatest!
This is super important for finding the median.
We have: $89, 92, 92, 94, 95, 95$.

STEP 4

Since we have an even number of trips ($6$), the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

STEP 5

In our sorted list, the two middle numbers are $92$ and $94$.

STEP 6

To find the average, we add them together and divide by $2$:
$$\frac{92 + 94}{2} = \frac{186}{2} = 93$$

The median distance Edwin drove is $\bf{93}$ miles.
