germination ratio of my double impatiens

I purchased 20 seeds of the expensive mixed color double impatiens. I used peat moss and verimlite, plus rain water. They germinated immediately. However, 1 failed to start, 1 only show a little root. Another two failed to rise up. I used a toothpick to check, their roots disappeared right below soil line. All other 16 are growing fast and healthy. Is this common success ratio? I really do not want to lose even one seed.
