The probability that even number shows up odd number of times is same as it shows up 1,3,5,7.......2n+1 times
Which mathematically is.......
2n+1C1(1/2)(1/2)2n+2n+1C3(1/2)3(1/2)2n-2+2n+1C5(1/2)5(1/2)2n-4+....................+2n+1C2n+1(1/2)2n+1
This can also be represented as...........
{(1/2+1/2)2n+1 - (1/2-1/2)2n+1}/2 = {(1)2n+1 - (0)2n+1}/2 =1/2
