• Choice C

    The spinner has sectors labeled with the odd numbers 1,3,5,7,91, 3, 5, 7, 9 (the shaded sectors). There are 55 shaded sectors in total.

    Among these, find which are multiples of 33:

    3=3×1  3 = 3 \times 1 \; \checkmark 9=3×3  9 = 3 \times 3 \; \checkmark

    The numbers 11, 55, and 77 are not multiples of 33.

    So 22 out of 55 shaded sectors are multiples of 33:

    P(multiple of 3shaded)=25P(\text{multiple of 3} \mid \text{shaded}) = \frac{2}{5}
