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

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of seeds=1000

Seeds that germinate = 903

90% of 1000=>90/100*1000 = 900seeds.
