Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of candies

$0 + 9=9$

Step2: Calculate number of non - banana candies

The number of non - banana candies is the number of cherry candies, which is 9.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability $P$ of selecting a non - banana candy is $\frac{\text{Number of non - banana candies}}{\text{Total number of candies}}=\frac{9}{9} = 1$
