Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The experimental - probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify favorable and total outcomes

The number of blackberry pies sold (favorable outcomes) is 4, and the total number of pies sold is 14.

Step3: Calculate the probability
