When playing American roulette, the croupier (attendant) spins a marble that lands in one of the 38 slots in a revolving turntable. The slots are numbered 1 to 36, with two additional slots labeled 0 and 00 that are painted green. Assume a single spin of the roulette wheel is made. Find the probability of winning with the given bet. An example of a line bet is betting that the marble will land in a slot numbered 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19. The probability of winning with the given line bet is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) (...)
