If a number is a real number then is it a rational number?
Not necessarily. All rational numbers are real, not all real numbers are rational.
What is probability of selecting an irrational number from set of real number?
The probability of selecting an irrational number from the set of all real numbers (selected randomly) is unity (100%). Let me explain: consider selecting the real number by selecting a series of digits. select each digit randomly and creating a number, say from zero to one by putting a decimal place on the far left of the digits. Selecting more and more of those digits means we are selecting from more and more of the real numbers. The limit as our selection approaches infinity is a real number that is picked from any real number (between 0 and 1). A rational number is one whose digits end up repeating the same pattern thus being able to be written as a fraction. An irrational number is a real number that is not rational. So with those two ideas one could think of picking a random real number by picking successive digits and figuring the odds of getting a repeating sequence would get more and more absurd as one picked more and more digits. Think of it as your winning lottery number being picked not twice but an infinite amount of times (with no other picks in between). That would be the chance of your pick being rational. That being said the ability to fairly choose a real number from all the possible choices is very difficult since one needs to choose an infinite amount of digits. If one gets bored and stops before an infinite amount of digits is chosen, the resulting number is rational (since it has an infinite amount of repeating zeros on the end of the number). So in that sense your chances of picking an actual irrational number are the same as your chances of picking an infinite digit random number.
Are there real number that are not rational number?
A real number dosen't have to be a rational number as a real number can be rational or irrational i.e the root of 2 is irrational and real. So is (pi).
Is -3 a rational number and a real number?
Yes. -3 is both rational and real. -3 is an integer. All integers are rational numbers. All rational numbers are real numbers. Thus -3 is a rational number and a real number.
Can a real number that is not a rational number is a?
A real number which is not a rational number is an irrational number.
If a number is a real number then is it a rational number?
Not necessarily. All rational numbers are real, not all real numbers are rational.

Is a real number always sometimes or never a rational number?
Sometimes. The number '4' is real and rational. The number 'pi' is real but not rational.
Are there real number that are not rational number?
A real number dosen't have to be a rational number as a real number can be rational or irrational i.e the root of 2 is irrational and real. So is (pi).
Is a decimal a considered a real number and a rational number?
Decimals are real. They can be rational or irrational.
Is -3 a rational number and a real number?
Yes. -3 is both rational and real. -3 is an integer. All integers are rational numbers. All rational numbers are real numbers. Thus -3 is a rational number and a real number.
Can a real number that is not a rational number is a?
A real number which is not a rational number is an irrational number.
Every rational number is a real number?
Yes it is, but not every real number is a rational number
Is 34 and real and rational number?
Yes, 34 is a real and rational number
Which number is an integer a rational number and a real number?
Every integer is also a rational number and a real number.
Is a real number sometimes a rational number?
Infinitely rarely, a real number is also a rational number. (There are an infinite number of rational numbers, but there are a "much bigger infinity" of real numbers.)
What is the relationship of rational numbers and real number?
The set of rational numbers is a subset of the set of real numbers. That means that every rational number is a real number, but not every real number is rational. The square root of 2 is an example of a real number that isn't rational; that is, it can't be expressed as the quotient of two integers.
