In this edition's Discovery, the problem of interpreting the term "mean" is discussed with examples of the different kinds of mean. Mathematics teachers should therefore use the term "arithmetic mean" when introducing measures of central tendency in statistics. Some various definitions of the term "average" and sports are discussed.
