Answer:

Choice 3 is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability of 1 is a sure thing. It is an outcome that will happen for sure.

Each of the 4 colors has an amount of area, so there is a possibility of the spinner ending up in any of the 4 colors. No color has the probability of 1.

Choice 1 is false.

The central angle of the red sector is more than 90°, so its probability is more than 1/4.

Choice 2 is false.

The central angle of the green sector is less than 90°, so its probability is less than 1/4.

Choice 3 is true.

The yellow and blue sectors have different areas, so their probabilities are different.

Choice 4 is false.
