Answer

Therefore, the final answer is \(\boxed{0.05}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The problem provides a probability distribution table for the number of customers in line at a supermarket express checkout counter. The probability of having 5 customers in line, denoted as \(P(5)\), is given directly in the table.

Step 2 :From the table, we can see that \(P(5) = 0.05\).

Step 3 :Therefore, the final answer is \(\boxed{0.05}\).
