The probability of randomly choosing a framed painting from the art gallery is
\( (22)/(25) \) when considering the information provided in the frequency tree for framed and unframed paintings.

To find the probability that a randomly chosen painting is framed, you need to use the information provided in the frequency tree. The relevant information is in the "Framed" branch.

The frequency tree shows:

- 22 paintings are framed.

- 3 paintings are unframed.

The total number of paintings is the sum of framed and unframed:


\[ 22 (\text{framed}) + 3 (\text{unframed}) = 25 \]

Now, the probability of choosing a framed painting is the number of framed paintings divided by the total number of paintings:


\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Framed Paintings}}{\text{Total Number of Paintings}} \]


\[ \text{Probability} = (22)/(25) \]

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen painting is framed is
\( (22)/(25) \) in its simplest form.
