The probability of picking a 4 as the first card is 1/3.
Once the first card is a 4, there are only two cards left (3 and 5) and only one of them (5) is greater than 3.
Therefore, the probability of picking a 4 as the first card and then picking a number greater than 3 as the second card is 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6.
So the probability is 1/6.
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.

4
