Measures of the general value are a common need. Average, Median, and Mode are the three commonest.
Average is the arithmetic average of all the values.
Median is the actual measurement which is midwaybetween the extreme values, and is often closest to the average.
Mode is the commonest value.
Other indicators of central tendency, may ignore all value beyond say, three standard deviations, and thus ignore the contribution by the extreme, and uncommon, values.
One of the measures of central tendency IS the average, also known as mean. You can't calculate the average from other measures of central tendency.

easures of central tendency
The mean of 9 is 9. The median of 9 is 9. The mode of 9 is 9. These are the commonest measures of central tendency.

The mean and median are two measures of central tendency. In introductory statistics many schools include the mode as another example of central tendency but the mode could well be at the end of a distribution.
Common measures of central tendency are the mean, median, mode. Common measures of dispersion are range, interquartile range, variance, standard deviation.
