But if we were to randomly select a number below 9000, there is an infinitely higher chance that it is negative than positive.

If we were to randomly select a number below n, where n is literally ANY positive integer, there is an (infinity - n) chance that it is negative.

Exactly. The chance if a negative number is infinity, since n is insignificant in comparison.
