Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency aka average. It's usually context that indicates which measure we are using when we say average. A lot of the time, when speaking of the average person, we're using the median or mode rather than the mean.

How many fingers does your average person have?

I was joking and also didn't know that average in English can be any one of them.
