Since all sectors have the same area, the spinner is equaly likely to land on each of them. There are:

  • 3 yellow sectors
  • 3 red sectors
  • 4 green sectors
  • 1 blue sector

Obviously, this implies that there are 11 sectors in total.

So, the spinner will land on a certain color with probability


p=\frac{\text{\# of sectors for that color}}{\text{11}}

Use this formula to deduce the probability of green.

Finally, you can multiply the probability of red by 11 to get the expected number of reds in 11 spins.
