add global Negative as the first line of your function

#!/bin/python3


Positive = 0
Negative = 0
Zero = 0


def plusMinus(arr):
    global Positive
    global Negative
    global Zero

    for number in arr:
        if number > 0:
            Positive = Positive + 1
        elif number < 0:
            Negative = Negative + 1
        else:
            Zero = Zero + 1


if __name__ == "__main__":
    n = int(input().strip())

    arr = list(map(int, input().rstrip().split()))

    plusMinus(arr)

print(Positive / n)
print(Negative / n)
print(Zero / n)
