The answer depends on three things: gender, height, and weight. Typically tall skinny males are the highest jumpers, due to increased strength, longer legs, and less weight to move. The website http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/VerticalJump.html gives a calculator into which you can enter your personal data and figure out the average for your age group. (This calculator unfortunately doesn't factor weight/height into the average jump. As long as the age group is the same, somebody five feet tall and 500 pounds has the same average jump [according to the website] as somebody seven feet tall and 200 pounds.)

how does one do a vertical jump?
To do a vertical jump, one needs to leap and get one's center of gravity straight up in the air. This can be a good measure for how high one can jump from a standstill position.
Is a vertical jump measured in feet or inches?
Inches
What does vertically upwards mean?
Vertical means straight up and down,aligned with the direction of gravity. Vertically upward means vertical in the up direction. So if you jump directly straight up that is vertically upward; when you land you are travelling vertically downward.
Exactly vertical or perpendicular?
There is no such thing as exactly vertical because either it is vertical or it is not. You cannot have approximately vertical - it is not vertical, then. Vertical means at 90 degrees to the horizon (or horizontal).
How do you get your vertical?
by moving vertical
