TIFR ECE 2020 | Question: 8
Suppose that Dice $1$ has five faces numbered $1$ to $5,$ each of which is equally likely to occur once the dice is rolled. Dice $2$ similarly has eight equally likely faces numbered $1$ to $8.$ Suppose that the two dice are rolled, and the sum is equal to $8.$ Conditioned on this, ... $2?$ $1 / 4$ $1 / 3$ $1 / 2$ $2 / 7$ $2 / 5$

GATE ECE 2020 | Question: 25
The two sides of a fair coin are labelled as $0$ to $1$. The coin is tossed two times independently. Let $M$ and $N$ denote the labels corresponding to the outcomes of those tosses. For a random variable $X$, defined as $X = \text{min}(M, N)$, the expected value $E(X)$ (rounded off to two decimal places) 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 ... $f(x):=(1 / 4) e^{-|x| / 2}$. $f(x):=e^{-2|x|}$.
