To find the probability of selecting an apple fritter from the pastries available, you can use the formula for probability:
\[
P(\text{apple fritter}) = \frac{\text{Number of apple fritters}}{\text{Total number of pastries}}
\]
In this case, there are 4 apple fritters and a total of 14 pastries. Therefore, the probability is:
\[
P(\text{apple fritter}) = \frac{4}{14}
\]
To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
\[
P(\text{apple fritter}) = \frac{2}{7}
\]
So the probability that a randomly selected pastry will be an apple fritter is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{2}{7}}
\]
\[
P(\text{apple fritter}) = \frac{\text{Number of apple fritters}}{\text{Total number of pastries}}
\]
In this case, there are 4 apple fritters and a total of 14 pastries. Therefore, the probability is:
