Can anyone tell me what the Maxium, Median, and 95th percentile and in the leak line means?

Thanks!

Maximum obviously means the highest leak you experienced that night.

Median means the exact middle between your highest and your lowest leak that night. Its not the same thing as an "average" leak rate.

95th percentile leak means you experienced leaks AT OR BELOW that level for 95% of that night.
