Hi I'm studying right now and I just wanted to know if finding the average is the same as finding the mean? Thanks ?✏️???

Yes. It is the same.

Hello Hi I'm stuck

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, but some people use the word average for any central representative of a set of data:

In the UK, average could also be the mode or the median.
