Average is a generic term that, depending on context, can refer to a mean, the median, or the mode of a set of numbers. In some contexts, average and arithmetic mean are synonymous (referring to the sum of a set of numbers divided by the number of elements in the set). In addition to arithmetic mean, there are lots of other means (including, but not limited to, geometric mean, harmonic mean, interquartile mean, quadratic mean, truncated mean).
