Real number either a rational or irrational number. Rational numbers written as a ration of two integers, begins to repeat a pattern of numbers, or ends after a finite number. Irrational numbers do not repeat a sequence of digits and do not end. Construct a conceptual continuum that describes our experience of the world. Indicator a feature of the world that is used to represent a specific construct. Score serves as a measure of the construct and is a number on the continuum of real numbers. Range of convenience results from (the measurements) design to serve a particular purpose.
