Average

5' = 5 x 12 or 60 inches

6' = 6 x 12 or 72 inches

5'11" = 60 inches + 11 inches or 71 inches

6'3" = 72 inches + 3 inches or 75 inches

6'6" = 72 inches + 6 inches or 78 inches

6'2" = 72 inches + 2 inches or 74 inches

6' = 72 inches

Let A = average

A = (71 + 75 + 78 + 74 + 72)/5 inches

You finish.

Average Feet: (5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6) / 5 = 5.8 ==> 5' 9.6"
Average Inches: (11 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 0)/5 = 4.4 ==> 4.4"

Total: 5' 9.6" + 4.4" = 5' 14" -- Does that seem right?

You finish.
