Basically they are the same. But usually we use "medium" to describe an thing and "average" to describe a person.

Well, "She's medium" is weird and unnatural in this context. Unless you are talking about clothing size.
For example, you can should say "She's average at math." rather than "She's medium at math."

@zhaina04 Generally, you would only use medium to describe a person for things like height and size. For example, "She's medium height." and "She's medium-sized."
