    Sample Size = n = 18

    Proportion of processor which meet specifications = p = 90% = 0.90

    We are given that the Binomial distribution is valid for the given case. The mean value of the binomial distribution can be calculated as:

    Mean = np

    Using the values of n and p for given case, we get:

    Mean = 18 x 0.90 = 16.2

    So, on average 16.2 processor will meet the specifications
