A binary random variable $X$ takes the value of $1$ with probability $1/3$. $X$ is input to a cascade of $2$ independent identical binary symmetric channels (BSCs) each with crossover probability $1/2$. The output of BSCs are the random variables $Y_{1}$ and $Y_{2}$ as shown in the figure. The value of $H( Y_{1} )+H( Y_{2} )$ in bits is ______.

GATE ECE 2014 Set 4 | Question: 27
Parcels from sender S to receiver R pass sequentially through two-post offices. Each post-office has a probability $\frac{1}{5}$ of losing an incoming parcel, independently of all other parcels. Given that a parcel is lost, the probability that it was lost by the second post office is _________

TIFR ECE 2023 | Question: 7
Let $f(x)$ be a positive continuous function on the real line that is the density of a random variable $X$. The differential entropy of $X$ is defined to be $-\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) \ln f(x) d x$. In which case does $X$ have the least differential entropy? You may use these facts: The ... $f(x):=(1 / 4) e^{-|x| / 2}$. $f(x):=e^{-2|x|}$.
