[QUOTE="30BR, post: 1435078, member: 64079"] Not to be nitpicky, BUT... [URL]http://www.differencebetween.net/science/difference-between-average-and-mean/[/URL] In mathematics, we normally consider average as the sum of all values divided by the number of values added. Strictly speaking, it is the ‘arithmetic mean’, or simply referred to as the ‘mean’. The mean is almost considered synonymous with average, but statisticians will definitely disagree, because, in essence, mean is only a form of describing an average. An average can be described in many ways. Aside from expressing it as the mean of the sample, it can also be given as the [URL='http://www.differencebetween.net/science/difference-between-mean-and-median/']median[/URL] or the mode. Median is the central point of the set. In statistics, it is usually the number that occurs in the middle of a set of numbers. A description of the average can be in the median, some of the time, if it is considered as the most suitable way to describe the central tendency of a particular sample. [/QUOTE]
