If I buy a new iPhone 4, what are the chances of getting a yellow screen?

Ummm no, I had to get my VZW preorder iPhone 4 replaced because of the yellow tint issue.
Very slim. Remember you may see a bunch of people who complain about it here but the people who don't have problems are not posting about how great and not yellow their screen is.
As long as you fully charge and discharge the battery a few times you are not going to hurt your battery life by turning it on in the store.
My friend didn't notice his phone was yellow until we compared our phones side by side. His iPhone was purchased release month so I reckon this is an issue with early productions.
The yellow screen is NOT a defect, nor is it only refurb units. The yellow screen actually has much better color representation! I have had 4 ip4 and half where yellow half where blue, like said you can't tell unless you compare. I hate the blue looks very washed out ever since the first iPhone. But over time the white balances all look the same. The yellow has a more natural feel, and yes the blue tint seems brighter.
It takes one person to say that the yellow screen is something wrong and people believe it, it's CRAZY how people can convince themselves of that. I currently have a blue tint and HATE it but I'm not gonna get mad or disappointed. But no way it it a PROBLEM.
But I would say a 50 precent chance. And is it that serious of a problem if yours isn't the same as your friends! O NO!

honestly dude, i've seen your posts here. you're one ignorant person. you know nothing so please, do some research before you post.
my ORIGINAL iPhone 4 16GB week 32 (bought in August) had a yellow screen, and so does my replacement.
My brother just went to get his iPhone replaced for dead pixels and the genius tried a few phones and they all had yellow screens. I got my iPhone replaced a while back and the refurb wasn't yellow at all. There's no guarantee of what you'll get from a refurb. As for new units, the ones I've seen people buy recently all had bluer screens.
This was an issue when ip4 first came out when they were rushing them out of the factory before the bonding agent fully dried
I'm not sure if you are referring to the warmer color profile of new ip4s
