So how does the judge or the legal body define "preponderance of the evidence"? That the evidence for a verdict outnumbers the evidence against that verdict? or that the evidence for a verdict is greater in importance than the evidence against it? "Preponderance" doesn't necessarily mean higher number.

The legal def. is usually stated in the regulation that is the actual law. Then, that def. is further defined by the caselaw.
