    Odd numbers are of the from a (n) = a+d (n-1) where a=1 and d=2 so

    a (n) = 1+2 (n-1) = 2n-1 and we need the number of odds in the range 1 to 38

    2n-1≤38

    2n≤39

    n≤19.5, so there are 19 odd numbers in [1,38]

    And since Julie bet on two even numbers as well, the probability of getting an odd number or the two evens she picked is:

    (19+2) / 38

    21/38
