\(\boxed{\frac{9}{38}}\) is the probability that both chocolates are raspberry

Steps

Step 1 ：Find the probability of both chocolates being raspberry: Probability = \(\frac{Number \ of \ favorable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcomes}\)

Step 2 ：Calculate the probability: \(\frac{10}{20} \times \frac{9}{19} = \frac{90}{380}\)

Step 3 ：Simplify the fraction: \(\frac{90}{380} = \frac{9}{38}\)

Step 4 ：\(\boxed{\frac{9}{38}}\) is the probability that both chocolates are raspberry
