Here's two for you

This one is easy if you think about it


There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how
many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

So is this, I think

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red.

What am I?

if you look at each line in wording
1 - One,
11 - two ones,
21 - one two one one

each line describes the one before it
