Recall that the Shannon entropy of a random variables $X$ taking values in a finite set $S$ is given by \[H[X]=-\sum_{x \in S} \operatorname{Pr}[X=x] \log _{2} \operatorname{Pr}[X=x] .\] (We set $0 \log _{2} 0=0$.) For a pair of random variables $(X, Y)$ taking ... $H\left[R_{513}, C_{513} \mid R_{1}, R_{2}, \ldots, R_{512}\right]?$ $\log _{2} 513$ $9$ $10$ $19$ $81$

GATE ECE 2021 | Question: 27
A box contains the following three coins. A fair coin with head on one face and tail on the other face. A coin with heads on both the faces. A coin with tails on both the faces. A coin is picked randomly from the box and tossed. Out of the two remaining coins in the box, one ... getting a head in the second toss is $\frac{2}{5}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{2}{3}$

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 ___________.
