Default How to calculate expected best finish in a regular tournament?

If I play one NL hold'em tournament every week for a year and each week there are exactly 2,000 entrants including me, is it possible to work out the following:

- my chance of winning one tournament in the year
- my chance of winning two or more tournaments
- my chance of making one final table
- my chance of making two or more final tables

Slightly different but along the same lines:
- what is my best finishing position likely to be (and how is this calculated)?

Assume that all players in each tourney are equally skilled.

to win 1 in 38.461538461538461538461538461538 for the year
winning two, I'm too tired to figure out

final table 1 in 4.2735042735042735042735042735043 for the year
2 or more final tables, I'm too tired to figure out also.

likely finish 1000th or 1001
