What is a Number Line?

This refers to the line that shows numbers from left to right and is marked at intervals that are negative to the left and positive to the right.

Based on the keen observation, there are 10 line segments that have an equal length and from the two points, there are two equal line segments,

So, the probability that a random point would fall between A and B is:

Number of line segments between AB/ number of line segments between AE

= 2 /10

= 1/5
