Hey guys, I'm math retarded and need help understanding/solving a problem.

I throw up a ball so that it travels 7.1 m to its max height. If the ball is caught at the initial height 2.4 seconds after being thrown, what is the balls average speed and average velocity?

I thought it was 3.0 m/s, but then was told different. Can anyone explain this to me and help me solve it? I get that velocity is speed+direction, but not sure about anything.
