How many subsets are there for the set {1,3,5,7,9,11}?
--------------------------------------------------------

Your set consists of 6 elements.

So, the number of all its subsets is 2%5E6 = 64, including the empty subset and the subset consisting of all 6 elements.

If you'd like to constrain yourself by only "proper" subsets, their number is 2%5E6 - 2 = 64 - 2 = 62.

For details see the lesson How many subsets are there in a given finite set of n elements? in this site.
