Difference between the average position and the most likely position of a particle


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

part (a):

What is the average position of a particle

part (b)

What is the most likely position of the particle

2. Relevant equations

N/A

3. The attempt at a solution

What is the difference between these two questions, because on first glance, I would have thought they were the same?
