21 Probability Problem Set 1. A modified roulette wheel has 26 numbers

Name: / 21 Probability Problem Set 1. A modified roulette wheel has 26 numbers (1 through 24, 0, and 00). As the wheel spins, a ball is rolled on the wheel and bets are placed as to where the ball will land. You can bet on a single number, as well as on 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12 numbers. What are the odds in favour of winning if you bet on an even number? Note: 0 and 00 are not considered even numbers. (3) 2.
