Hey, I need a little help with this exercise. I need to find the average total distance flown by day of week and month by using sub queries. But it says that my code is wrong.

```

select a.dep_month,
a.dep_day_of_week,
AVG(a.flight_distance) as average_distance
FROM (
SELECT dep_month,
dep_day_of_week,
dep_date,
COUNT(*) AS flight_distance
FROM flights
GROUP BY 1,2,3
) a
GROUP BY 1,2
ORDER BY 1,2;

<do not remove the three backticks above>

COUNT(*) AS flight_distance

here you need to use sum of distance.

SUM(distance) AS flight_distance
