- mjevans 6y agoAlmost correct. The mean, median, and mode are three types of averages. None is 'the average'; though if you asked someone random on the street they'd probably give you the mean average.

- awesome_dude 6y agoOn an average day? Mode: On a typical day <<-- most common meaning for average in day to day conversation Mean: On a day that is in the calculated middle (for some variance) <<-- most common meaning when we think the question is about math Median: On a day that is the middle for all the possible days <<-- nobody thinks of this, but they think this is what the mean is.
