With respect to Problem 3,
By Hsien-Kuei Hwang, 23-Jul-97. A limit distribution and zeros of a
polynomial.

See, for example (and further leads) 

How many roots of a random polynomial are real? 
Eric Kostlan and Alan Edleman at
http://www-math.mit.edu/~edelman/comprehensive.html

Note that papers on the distribution of
eigenvalues of matrices with random elements are  
sometimes relevant (by considering a companion matrix).

Cordially,   David Wood
