In Java Edition 4 mob types can spawn in Soul Sand Valley — hostile mobs: Ghast, Skeleton and Enderman; passive mobs: Strider.
Ghast has the highest spawn weight among the hostile mobs: 50 of 71 (70.4%) in Java Edition.
Yes. Java Edition lists 4 spawn entries for Soul Sand Valley, Bedrock Edition 4. For example, Ghast has a weight of 50/71 (70.4%) in Java and 40/126 (31.7%) in Bedrock. Use the edition switch above the tables to compare.
Each spawn attempt first picks a category (for example hostile or passive mobs), then one mob of that category at random, weighted by its spawn weight. A mob's chance is its weight divided by the total weight of its category in the biome — so the shares in each table add up to 100%.
