In experiments involving probability, larger sample sizes tend to yield results that are closer to the predicted outcomes due to the law of large numbers. This principle states that as the number of trials increases, the experimental outcomes will converge towards the expected theoretical probabilities.

In this case, Walter is using a spinner with 4 equal sections. To obtain experimental outcomes that are most similar to his predicted outcomes, he should conduct the highest number of trials provided in the options.

Among the options:
- 4
- 25
- 40
- 90

The number of trials that will lead to outcomes most similar to the predicted outcomes is **90**.
