To find the odds that a student apartment or house does pass the regulation guidelines, we need to divide the number of apartments/houses that do pass (which is 350 - 212 = 138) by the total number of apartments/houses inspected (which is 350).

Odds of passing = Number of passing apartments/houses / Total number of apartments/houses inspected
Odds of passing = 138 / 350
Odds of passing = 0.394

To find the odds that a student apartment or house does pass the regulation guidelines, we need to subtract the odds of not passing from 1.

Odds of passing = 1 - Odds of not passing
Odds of passing = 1 - 0.394
Odds of passing = 0.606

Therefore, the answer is B) 0.651.
