-A number less than 2, given that the number is less than 5.
--------------------
Comment: When you have a condition like "given that the
number is less than 5" that becomes your universe.
Then of the numbers that are "less than 5" you shouldl
find the probability that a number is "less than 2".
That answer is 1/4
--------------------------------------
If you use the conditional formula you get the following:
P(<2 | <5) = P(<2 AND <5)/P(<5) = (1/6)/(4/6) = 1/4
