1. True. There are two outcomes and only one successful outcome.

2. True. Say for example, there are 100 tickets sold. If you bought 10 of them, then your chances of winning are 0.1, which is a 10% chance. However, if you bought 50 of them, then your chances are now 0.5, which is a 50% chance.

3. True. This is true by the very definition of independent events.

4. False. The second event depends entirely on the first event because the total number of cards decreases.
