Answer:

4 nickels
12 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 16-d is the number of nickels, and the total value is ...

0.10d +0.05(16 -d) = 1.40

0.05d + 0.80 = 1.40 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

0.05d = 0.60 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80

d = 12 . . . . . . . .dimes

(16 -d) = 4 . . . . nickels

Diane has 12 dimes and 4 nickels.

$mean = \frac{9 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 6 + 4}{7} = \frac{28}{7} = 4$

$mean \: deviation = \frac{ |9 - 4| + |4 - 4| + |4 - 4| + |1 - 4| + |0 - 4| + |6 - 4| + |4 - 4| }{7} = \frac{5 + 0 + 0 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 0}{7} = \frac{14}{2} = 7$
