The correct answer is 10*9/2 = 45. The 45 are:
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29,
34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,
45, 46, 47, 48, 49,
56, 57, 58, 59,
67, 68, 69
78, 79,
89.

With each digit having only 2 possibilities, the answer is 2 to the 4th power, which is 16. The 4 is because there are 4 digits. Think about the binary numbers 0000 to 1111, there are 2 possibilities for each digit. If your constraint is that the digits must have at least one 2 and at least one 5, then eliminate the two combinations 2222 and 5555, and that answer would be 14.
To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add all the numbers together and then divide by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 is 5.4. Dividing 5.4 by 4 (the total number of values) gives you a mean of 1.35.
