The probability that the ball is black is #5/8# and that the ball is not black is #3/8#.

Explanation:

As the bag contains #5# black and #3# white balls, it has in all #8# balls of whom #5# are black and #3# are not black.

Hence probability of getting a black ball is #5/8#

and as #3# balls are not black, probability of not getting a black ball is #3/8#.
