Since the first card drawn is not replaced, there are only 3 cards left in the deck for the second draw (cards 4, 5, and 7). The probability of picking a 6 and then picking a number less than 5 is:
P(6 and <5) = P(6) * P(<5 after 6) = (1/4) * (2/3) = 1/6
Therefore, the probability of picking a 6 and then picking a number less than 5 is 1/6 or approximately 0.17.
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.

What is the probability of picking a 6 and then picking a number less than 5?

No way to answer the question,since we don't know how many cards there are.
Are we dealing with a deck of playing cards with 52 cards or what ?

You are correct, my apologies for the oversight. The probability of picking a 6 and then picking a number less than 5 depends on how many cards are in the overall deck. Please provide me with this information, and I will be happy to assist you in calculating the probability.
