Reed is an avid basketball fan who is excited by the fact that the local professional team has won the first five games of the season. Based on this early performance, Reed is looking forward to a record-breaking season. Why does this faulty logic illustrate an error in statistical reasoning?

◦ Later performance is seldom related to early performance.
◦ Small samples are the most accurate representation of final outcomes.
◦ Small samples cannot be expected to provide reliable indications of long-run performance.
◦ Winning streaks usually last for only a short period of time.
