Detailed Solution

It is given that there is a bag with balls of color black, red and white.
According to the question, there are a total of 18 balls in the bag.
In the bag, there are a total of 18 - 4 = 14 balls that are not black in color.
Therefore, the probability the ball drawn from the bag is not black, =  number of not black balls   total number of balls  = 14 18 = 7 9
The probability the ball drawn from the bag is not black is 7 9 .
