Solution

The color of the ball that is most likely to be drawn is green. This is because there are more green balls (9) than any other color in the bag. The probability of drawing a ball is directly proportional to the number of that color ball in the bag. Therefore, the more balls of a certain color, the higher the probability of drawing that color.
