There are 20 disks in a bag numbered 1 through 20. What is the probability an even number greater than 9 is chosen at random, given the number is greater than 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/20 which reduces to 3/10 or 0.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is conditional probability, "...given the number is greater than 9." The answer is not 6/20

Then please explain.

The numerator is 6. The denominator is the numbers greater than 9.
