A Texas Garden Center wants to store leftover packets of vegetable seeds from their spring sale to have for their fall sale, but the center is concerned that the seeds may not germinate at the same rate six months later. The manager randomly selects a packet of green bean seeds remaining from the spring sale and plants them as a test. Although the packet claims a germination rate of 92% of the seeds, only 171 of the 200 test seeds sprout. Is this evidence that the seeds have lost viability during their six months in storage?
