嚴格來說,中數和平均值的意思不太一樣。
中數(median)是一系列數字中最中間的數。
平均值是把所有的值加起來計算平均數值。
可是,很多時候,\"中數\" 一詞也會被用來當作平均值。
所以要看原文在數學上要表達的到底是啥。

agree jyuan_us : It's true if it's a normal distribution, under which mean is always equal to median.

FYI

這里的"均數" 指平均數。
mean 和 average在中文里都是平均數,沒有其他同義詞可資利用。
你可考慮把mean 譯為平均數,在用平均數的定義來翻Average﹕

平均數是指變量的總和除以變量的個數。
