attempt to compare table with number?

So in my code there is a table:

waitsequence = {}

In a bunch of other places, there are conditionals like this:

if waitsequence[1]>=1.75 and waitsequence<=4 then

One I run this, I get the error attempt to compare table with number.

The code puts random numbers into waitsequence and I think it's reading the numbers as a string. I just want to make sure and to get a solution.
