A line that pictures real numbers as points | Real Number Line |
The set of numbers consisting of the positive numbers, the negative numbers, and zero. | Real Numbers |
The point labeled zero on a number line. | Origin |
Any of the numbers less than zero. | Negative Numbers |
Any of the numbers greater than zero. | Positive Numbers |

The point that corresponds to a number. | Graph of a number |
Drawing a the point on a number line that corresponds to a number. | Plotting a point |
Two points on a number lines that are the same distance from the origin but are on opposite sides of it. | Opposites |
The distance between the origin and the point representing the real number. | Aboslute Value |

A measure of the likelihood that the event will occur due to chance. | Probability of an Event |
The different possible results of a proablity experiment. | Outcomes |
A type of probablity that is based on the number of favorable outcome divided by the total numbers of outcomes. | Theoretical Probabilty |
The outcomes for a particular event that are being considered. | Favorable Outcomes |
A probabilty that is based on repetitions of an actual experiment. | Experimental Probability |
The ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur. | Odds |
