1. Given $n \geq 1$, let $A_{n}$ denote the set of the first $n$ positive integers. We say that a bijection $f: A_{n} \rightarrow A_{n}$ has a hump at $m \in A_{n} \backslash\{1, n\}$ if $f(m)>f(m+1)$ and $f(m)>f(m-1)$. We say that $f$ has a hump at 1 if $f(1)>f(2)$, and $f$ has a hump at $n$ if $f(n)>f(n-1)$. Let $P_{n}$ be the probability that a bijection $f: A_{n} \rightarrow A_{n}$, when selected uniformly at random, has exactly one hump. For how many positive integers $n \leq 2020$ is $P_{n}$ expressible as a unit fraction?
