I think it's 5/8" ID, but it's been a long time since I last checked. And
yes it's connected to a plastic fitting which has a cap on the outside for
connection to a waste water drain hose (same threads as a garden hose or
faucet cap). Don't try to "wiggle" the hose off or because of age, you WILL
break the fitting. Cut the hose with a single edge razor at the fitting to
"peel" it off the fitting - same advice to where it connects to the P-Trap.
See the picture of the fitting at the bottom right of photos at this link:
