There are 999 (not 1000) numbers in the set that are less than 1000. There are 6719 numbers total, so

P(<1000) = 999/6719, roughly 0.149.

Hi, note: previous typo
P(selecting a number less than 1000 from a range of 1 to 6719) = 999/
Probability: The number of desirable outcomes / the total number of outcomes.
