Amodified 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 or even.)a. what is the probability of . what is the actual odds against winning? : . when you bet that the out come is an odd number, the payoff odds are 1: 1 how much profit do you make if you bet $15 and win? d. if you win the pay off is $

a) 17/36

b) 19/17

c) $15

d) $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of slots, n : 36

Number either even nor odd, : 2

Even numbers will be:

{2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34}= 17

Odd numbers: {1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33}= 17

a) placing a bet an outcome is an odd number:

Probability of winning=

(Odd numbers/ total number

= 17/36

b) actual odds against winning=

Ways of losing/ways of winning

= 19/17

c) since the payoff odd is 1:1 and I staked $15, it means I will have a profit of $15 if I win. 1:1 means your profit will equal your stake.

To calculate, we use

(a*c)/b

Here,

a : b = payoff odds

c = stake

We have:

(1*15)/1 = $15

d) Hence, if I win, the payoff would be:

$15+$15 = $30

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7
