How to choose RANDOM between 4 specified document.write ?

Hi,
I want the script to choose random between 4 specific choices.

Using this code it does that, but somehow it NEVER goes to pick choice number 2. Or, it shows version 1, 3 and 4 - but never number 2. It in stead shows nothing every once in a while.

Where's the error?

<script type="text/javascript">
var random_number = Math.random();
if (random_number < 0.25){
document.write("Hello 1!");
}
else if (random_number >0.25 <0.5){
document.write("Hello 2!");
}
else if (random_number >0.5 <0.75){
document.write("Hello 3!");
}
else if(random_number >0.75 <1){
document.write("Hello 4!");
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var random_number = Math.random();
if (random_number < 0.25){
document.write("Hello 1!");
}
else if (random_number >0.25  <0.5){
document.write("Hello 2!");
}
else if (random_number >0.5  <0.75){
document.write("Hello 3!");
}
else if(random_number >0.75  <1){
document.write("Hello 4!");
}
</script>

Thank you!
I used my code but with your Math.floor( Math.random() * 4 )

and made these changes:
if (random_number == 0){

up to

if (random_number == 3){

That made it all work perfect ;-)
