Are primes equally likely to be equivalent to $1$ or $3$ modulo $4,$ or is there a skew in one direction?



That is my specific question, but I would be interested to know if there exists a trend more generally, say for modulo any even.

          In general, if $gcd(a,b) = 1$, the number of primes which are of the form $b$ modulo $a$ is asymptotic to $dfracpi(x)varphi(a)$ where $pi(x)$ is the number of primes $le x$. As you see the asymptotic formula is independent of $b$ hence for a given modulo all residues occur equally in the long run.

          In general, if $gcd(a,b) = 1$, the number of primes which are of the form $b$ modulo $a$ is asymptotic to $dfracpi(x)varphi(a)$ where $pi(x)$ is the number of primes $le x$. As you see the asymptotic formula is independent of $b$ hence for a given modulo all residues occur equally in the long run.
