Interesting. I always learned mean/median/mode were different things. The mean is the average, the median is the middle value, and the mode is the largest value. I wasn’t aware of this issue with conflating mean/median.

That being said, I remember learning that and always wondering why I needed to know what “mode” was haha

The mode is the most common value, if it exists.
