Probability that a truncated Cauchy average is large

For n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, let X1,X2,…,XnX_1,X_2,…,X_n be a random sample from the Cauchy distribution having probability density function f(x)=1π(1+x2),−∞<x<∞.f(x)=\frac1{\pi(1+x^2)},\quad -\infty<x<\infty. Let g:R→Rg:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be defined by g(x)={x,if −1000≤x≤1000, 0,otherwise.g(x)=\begin{cases}x,&\text{if }-1000\le x\le 1000,\ 0,&\text{otherwise.}\end{cases} Let α=lim⁡n→∞P(1n3/4∑i=1ng(Xi)>12).\alpha=\lim_{n\to\infty}P\Bigl(\frac1{n^{3/4}}\sum_{i=1}^n g(X_i)>\frac12\Bigr). Then 100α100\alpha is equal to __________ (answer in integer)
