Zero average velocity does not equal zero dislacement.
Zero average velocity equals zero average displacement. :)
Wouldn't it be the other way around?
Let's say I take my mouse from its center position (from which we'll define the displacement) and move it quickly to the right some arbitrary distance and then equally quickly back to the center. Then, I move it slowly the same distance to the left and equally slowly back to center again.
Over this entire time, since the motions are symmetric (that is, the mouse spends the same amount of time moving in the positive direction as the negative), the average velocity must be zero. Also, we're back to the central position, so the net displacement must be zero. However, since we spent more time moving the mouse on the left, the time-averaged displacement must point to the left. Would you agree?

velocity or speed and direction of motion. If an object's velocity is zero, it is considered to be at rest. If an object's velocity is non-zero, it is moving.
Not necessarily. A zero slope on a velocity vs time graph indicates that the object's velocity is constant, not that it is not moving. If the velocity is zero and remains zero, then the object is not moving.
Velocity at zero means the object is not moving, while acceleration at zero means the object is moving at a constant velocity. Velocity at zero can be motionless or stationary, while acceleration at zero indicates that there is no change in velocity, even if the object is moving.
The average velocity becomes zero when an object returns to its initial position after moving in a straight line. This happens when the displacement is zero over a period of time.
An object at rest has a velocity of zero. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed (magnitude) and direction. When an object is not moving, its velocity is zero.
No, it can't. Average VELOCITY can be zero, though.
Yes; for example, an object moving in a circle.

A stationary object with velocity of zero.
A round-trip to school and back
Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.
No, an object cannot change its direction when the magnitude of its velocity is zero. This is because velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction. If the magnitude of the velocity is zero, it means the object is not moving at all and therefore cannot change direction.
Yes, the average velocity of a moving body can be zero. For example, if an object moves to the right for a certain distance and then returns back to its original position in the same amount of time, the total displacement would be zero, resulting in an average velocity of zero.
