The distribution of speeds in an ideal gas is given by the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. There are a variety of average speeds e.g. the most probable speed, the mean speed and the root mean square speed. Which one you use will depend on the application. The two equations you give are for the RMS speed:
v 2 = 3 k T m
and the mean speed:
v = 8 k T π m
