Red is most likely because there is more reds than any other color

She is more likely to draw a red than a yellow by 4 times!

Step-by-step explanation:

The more of one color the higher the possibility ...

As you can see there is more reds than any other color!

The rate she would get red (hypothetically) is 8/20

The rate she would get yellow (hypothetically) is 2/20

Red is 4 times the possibility than yellow!
