A company that sells seeds wants to check that at least 90% of its corn seeds are viable. An independent testing lab plants 1000 randomly chosen seeds and observes that 903 of them germinate. What does this data imply about the claim that 90% of the seeds are viable?

Answer:

The data claims that 90% of the seeds are viable meaning that 90% of the seeds are likely to germinate and grow into healthy plants under good conditions.90% 0f 1000seeds gives 900seeds,and 903seeds germinated so the claim is true

Explanation:

Total number of seeds=1000

Seeds that germinate =903

90% of 1000=>90/100Ă—1000 =900seeds.
