Is this how probability works?

Say in a game each blueberry bush you have has 10% chance to grow a crop of berries overnight.

Does that mean:

  1. If you have 2 bushes you have a 20% chance to grow a crop overnight. 3 bushes = 30% chance?
  2. If so, does that also mean you have a 100% chance to grow a crop overnight if you have 10 bushes?
  3. If so, what's the difference between a 100% chance and a certainty? Seems like even if you had a 100% chance in that example, each bush has a 10% chance independently, therefore it's possible that no berries would happen.


I can tell I've got this wrong
