Final answer:

Based on a survey where 6000 out of 10000 people watch TV, the viewership is 60%. The government's claim of 75% availability of TV services could still be true as availability does not imply viewership. Without additional context, we cannot conclusively validate or refute the government's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the survey mentioned, it is found that 6000 out of 10000 people watch TV which is a 60% viewership. However, the government claims that TV services are available to 75% of the population. To assess the claim's validity, more context is needed.

The availability of services does not necessarily equate to usage rates, as there might be individuals who have access to TV services but choose not to watch TV.

Thus, even if only 60% of the surveyed individuals watch TV, the government's claim regarding availability could still be true. If the government's claim pertains to the percentage of people watching TV, then based on the survey results, the claim would not be accurate as it exceeds the actual percentage noted in the survey.

To make a definitive conclusion, we would need to consider the exact phrasing of the government's assertion and additional data if available.
