Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Since the circle is split into 6 pieces, we can split the probability of landing on each section into fractions

There is one piece with the number 1 on it, so there is a 1/6 chance of landing on that.

There are 3 pieces with the number 2 on it, so there is a 3/6 chance of landing on it, simplifies that would be 1/2

There is one piece with the number 3 on it, so there is a 1/6 chance of landing on that.

There is one piece with the number 4 on it, so there is a 1/6 chance of landing on that.

Since the pieces with a 1 and 4 on the both have a 1/6 probabilit of landing, there is an equal chance on landing on either tile.
