Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Total Number of Ice Cream Bars

The total number of ice cream bars in the cooler is given as \( 100 \).

Step 2: Identify the Number of Strawberry Bars

The number of Strawberry bars is given as \( 40 \).

Step 3: Calculate the Probability of Selecting a Strawberry Bar

The probability \( P \) of selecting a Strawberry bar is calculated using the formula:

\[ P(\text{Strawberry}) = \frac{\text{Number of Strawberry bars}}{\text{Total number of ice cream bars}} = \frac{40}{100} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ P(\text{Strawberry}) = 0.4 \]

Final Answer

The probability that the bar selected is Strawberry is \\(\boxed{0.4}\\).
