I know this is a super simple question, but I was discussing it with a friend.

If each seed is independent from the others, why can't you just take the product?

Assuming that all seeds grow independent of each other, we can apply the multiplication rule,
P(all seeds growing) = P(seed1 growing)*P(seed2 growing)...*P(seed5 growing) $ = (0.4)^5= 0.01024$
