Final answer:

Due to lack of information we cannot calculate the probabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The probability of selecting a shirt number from 1 to 33 can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (33) by the total number of possible outcomes. However, the total number of possible outcomes is unknown in the given information, so we cannot provide an exact probability.

b. The probability of selecting a player who weighs at most 210 pounds can also not be calculated using the given information.

c. Since we do not know the total number of possible outcomes, we cannot calculate the probability of both events happening simultaneously.

d. Again, we cannot calculate the probability of the shirt number being from 1 to 33 OR the player weighing at most 210 pounds without knowing the total number of possible outcomes.

e. Given that the player weighs at most 210 pounds, we still cannot calculate the probability of their shirt number being from 1 to 33 without additional information.
