<p>Your number is suspiciously close to $1-1/e$. The fraction of values represented exactly $k$ times in your array should be close to $\exp(-1)/k!$, so it looks like your program counted the number of distinct values in the array, rather than the number of values represented only once.</p>

<p>$T$ is a closed subset of $S$ if and only if $T=C\cap S$ for some $C$ closed in $\mathbb{R}$. But $S$ is closed too, being compact, so $T$ is closed in $\mathbb{R}$ because it is the intersection of two closed sets. This takes care of the remaining part of $(b)$.
