Average & median

here's some stuff from a textbook:

‘Active small enterprises’ have significantly smaller turnover than
enterprises belonging to the previous segment (segment 1 – the
Co-operatives). Average turnover is 880.000€, while median is
170.000€.

I thought that "avergage" and "median" meant the same or i miss smth. They repeat that stuff in other paragraphs as well.

average = mean median = middle Example Given an array of 5 numbers (say, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8) , find the average and median values. avg = (1+2+5+6+8)/5 (1 & 2) < median < (6 & 8) -> = 5 (median denotes the numerical value which separates a set of numbers into two halves, "the higher half" with all the values greater than the median and the lower half with all the values less than the median)
