A modified roulette wheel has 36 slots. One slot is​ 0, another is​ 00, and the others are numbered 1 through 34​, respectively. You are placing a bet that the outcome is an odd number.​ (In roulette, 0 and 00 are neither odd nor​ even.)

Answer:0.472

Explanation:

Given

there are 36 slots with 0 and 00 as two slots which are neither odd nor even

i.e. there are 34 remaining slots numbered 1 to 34

there are 17 odd terms and 17 even terms

thus Probability of getting a odd number is
=(17)/(36)=0.472
