You can add a comparison as a label value like

duniform(0,4) == 0

duniform choose a value randomly in the range 0 .. 4 compared to a value like 0 only 20% are returning a true which is an integer value of 1 all other returned values will be 0.

EDIT: in Send To Port you can apply the same strategy for port by case

condition: duniform(0,4)

default port to destination without repair

any chosen value like 0 to a port number for repair.

here is an adaption:

assign label for destinations as an array
assign label for an index of this array to get statistically a relation of 1 to 4.

evaluate the destination of the array destination by value of randomIndex.

Be aware of that a statistical distribution only return valid relations for a really large number of events (eg. > 1000). Your current amount of entry events won't sufficiently be enough.

If it's repair or production you can just test if one label "Repair" is true or false which you can set with a percentage using the AssignLabels activity:

You could also use a decide to go to two different process routes with explicit travel activities - one for each destination. The condition option of the decide could just be:

token.Repair

or you could choose the percentage option of the decide activity and not implement the Rapair label:
