Basketball star Shanille O'Keal's team statistician keeps track of the number, $S(N),$ of successful free throws she has made in her first $N$ attempts of the season. Early in the season, $S(N)$ was less than 80% of $N,$ but by the end of the season, $S(N)$ was more than 80% of $N.$ Was there necessarily a moment in between when $S(N)$ was exactly 80% of $N$?

Prove that the probability for this polynomial to be special is between $0.71$ and $0.75$, where a polynomial $g$ is called special if for every $k>1$ in the sequence $f(1), f(2), f(3),...$ there are infinitely many numbers relatively prime with $k$.

Each of the 2001 students at a high school studies either Spanish or French, and some study both. The number who study Spanish is between 80 percent and 85 percent of the school population, and the number who study French is between 30 percent and 40 percent. Let $m$ be the smallest number of students who could study both languages, and let $M$ be the largest number of students who could study both languages. Find $M-m$.

In a village with a population of $1000$, two hundred people have been infected by a disease. A diagnostic test can be done to check whether a person is infected, but the result could be erroneous. That is, there is a $5\%$ probability that the test result of an infected person shows that they are not infected and a $5\%$ probability that the test result of a healthy person shows that they are infected. We randomly choose someone from the population of this village and take the diagnostic test from him. What is the probability that the test result declares that person is infected?
