Let's solve this question step-by-step.

1. Identify the Total Number of Apples:
- There are 4 green apples.
- There are 6 red apples.
- Total apples = 4 (green) + 6 (red) = 10 apples.

2. Calculate the Probability of Picking a Green Apple:
- Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.
- The probability of picking a green apple = (Number of green apples) / (Total number of apples) = 4 / 10 = 0.4.

3. Calculate the Probability of Picking a Red Apple:
- Using the same principle as above,
- The probability of picking a red apple = (Number of red apples) / (Total number of apples) = 6 / 10 = 0.6.

So, if you pick one apple without looking, the probability that the apple is green is 0.4 and the probability that it is red is 0.6.
