Bill,

"mean" is equivalent to "average" in statistics, which you
interpret as median value. Sometimes, they are in big difference
depending on the sample of data. If the data exists as a pattern,
such as uniform or normal distribution, then the difference
between mean and median will be depending on variance (or
standard deviation). When somebody says "mean" value which
most of times indicates "average".
