/random believes everything is <2

I tried to use /random for a minigame (no mods/pluggins/addons), but when I did /random roll <any number >2>, the command thought that number was less than 2.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any world (even without cheats).
2. Type in "/random roll <any number bigger than 2>"
3. Press Enter.

Expected Result:

A random number will be chosen and outputted.

Observed Result:

The value is presumed as "less than 2," and no number is outputted.
