How it's used

Mathematical contexts often use this term, but in casual conversation, people frequently prefer the simpler word 平均. Using the full term 平均值 sounds slightly more formal or technical, as if you are specifically discussing data analysis or a calculated result. It is rarely used to describe general everyday averages, such as the average person or average weather.
