On one page of a telephonic directory, there were 200 telephone numbers. The frequency distribution of their unit place (for example, in the number 25828573, the unit place digit is 3) is given below.

Digit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Frequency 22 26 22 20 10 14 28 16 20

Without looking at the page, the pencil is placed on one of these numbers, i.e., the number is chosen at random. What is the probability that the digit in its unit place is 5?
