Final answer:

The probability that the randomly chosen integer is divisible by 5 is 0.2 or 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

An integer is divisible by 5 if it can be divided by 5 without leaving a remainder. In the given scenario, there are 10 integers from 1 to 50 that are divisible by 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.

To find the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (10) by the total number of possible outcomes (50) and simplify: P(divisible by 5) = 10/50 = 1/5 = 0.2.

Therefore, the probability that the randomly chosen integer is divisible by 5 is 0.2 or 20%.
