I usually do 25 or 50 seed, either of which also makes computing the percentage easy; depending on how much seed I have.

This is for a rough estimate for my own use. I would guess that those selling the seed use larger samples.

You ask some good questions. I don't know what's the right number, but I take 10 seed to facilitate computing the percentage-- just did 10 peas, 9 germinated so figure I have 90% viability.
