Explanation:

Step1: Arrange commute - to - work times in ascending order

$28,30,37,40,50$
Since there are 5 values (odd number), the median is the middle value. So the median of commute - to - work times is $37$.

Step2: Arrange commute - from - work times in ascending order

$40,44,45,52,95$
Since there are 5 values (odd number), the median is the middle value. So the median of commute - from - work times is $45$.

Step3: Calculate the difference

$45 - 37=8$
