Answer:

Assuming you mean baseball in stead of basketball, if must be the 5th floor.

Explanation:

"The girl on the fifth floor thinks soccer is boring" implies that on the 5th floor lives the football or baseball fan. However, it cannot be the football fan since it is already known that she lives on 6th.

So the baseball fan, which is Jean, lives on 5th.
