To find the probability that a randomly selected carton of yogurt is raspberry, you can use the formula for probability:
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{\text{number of raspberry cartons}}{\text{total number of cartons}}
\]
In this case, the number of raspberry cartons is 4, and the total number of cartons is 10. Thus,
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{4}{10}
\]
This fraction can be simplified:
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{2}{5}
\]
So, the probability that a randomly selected carton of yogurt will be raspberry is:
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{2}{5}
\]
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{\text{number of raspberry cartons}}{\text{total number of cartons}}
\]
In this case, the number of raspberry cartons is 4, and the total number of cartons is 10. Thus,
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{4}{10}
\]
This fraction can be simplified:
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{2}{5}
\]
So, the probability that a randomly selected carton of yogurt will be raspberry is:
\[
P(\text{raspberry}) = \frac{2}{5}
\]
