AP Stats: Probability

A friend has placed a large number of plastic disks in a hat and invited you to select one at random.  He informs you that half are red and half are blue.  If you draw a disk, record the color, replace it, and repeat 100 times, which of the following is true?

• It is unlikely you will choose red more than 50 times.
• If you draw 10 blue disks in a row, it is more likely you will draw a red on the next try.
• The overall proportion of red disks drawn should be close to 0.50.
• The chance that the 100th draw will be red depends on the results of the first 99 draws.
