Because mean means average. I wouldn’t consider the median or the mode to be an average. Not sure what that commenter means by different “types of average”.
What they mean is that all three are different kinds of averaging. This is correct, but I don’t think people in general think ‘median’ when they hear ‘average’
Can’t speak for anyone else, but I was taught that mean, median, and mode are three different types of average.
Oh crap. Translating average to my language yields the same word as mean. But you’re right.
