Answer:   0.8571

====================================================

Explanation:

We're told that "given that it is less than 8", so we only focus on these values {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}. There are B = 7 items in this set.

Of those, the set {1,2,3,4,5,6} are less than 7. There are A = 6 items in this set.

The probability we're after is A/B = 6/7 = 0.8571
