How to set the selected option of a select list by value NOT by selectedIndex using jQuery?

I am trying to set the selected item of a select which equals a certain value. I am currently using:

$("#mySelectList").val(4);

This however is setting the list to the 4th selectedIndex instead of the selectedIndex which has a value of 4.

I am using version 1.9.1. Thanks for your help!
