Statistics- Creating the average student

Today we began a statistical investigation to create the 'average' student for our class.
We have brainstormed a variety of variables that we could measure. Here is a list of them
face length - from chin to hair line
face width - ear to ear
length of hand- tips of fingers to wrist
mouth - edge to edge smiling
legs- hip to ankle
shoulders- shoulder to shoulder or shoulder to neck
eye width
waist measurement
finger length
back- from bottom to shoulder
ear length
head circumference
hair length
thigh width
elbows to wrist
knee cap length
arm length
pectoral mucsle
nose - width
body height
neck circumference
weight
neck height
eye brow width
upper body - neck to belly button
thigh length
puku



One question we don't know how to answer is - How do we find an 'average' skin colour? How do we measure skin colour?
