average = mean
Yes but we need find the most effective choice so for the test scores I believe it's "mean". But for the average cost of a house and the average weight of a child I'm not sure which is the most effective. I'm guessing median for the average weight and mean for the average cost but I'm not sure if those are the most effective or not. What do you think?
The questions clearly state that the average is required for each.
Okay so no matter what...if the sentence says the word average in it then it's automatically the mean?
Yes.
The writer of the test question may have wanted the most effective measure -- but that's not what the question actually says. You may want to check with your teacher.
