Four spinners with distinct sections of equal area are spun 40 times. Which spinner is most likely to produce actual results closest to the predicted results?

With 40 spins, each section’s predicted count is 40 divided by the number of sections. A 2-section spinner predicts 20 results per section, giving more spins per outcome for the actual counts to balance out. So its results are most likely to be closest to the predicted results; the correct choice is the spinner with 2 sections.
