Let $X$ be a random variable which takes values in the set $\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}$.

Further, $\operatorname{Pr}(X=1)=\operatorname{Pr}(X=2)=\operatorname{Pr}(X=5)=\operatorname{Pr}(X=7)=\frac{1}{6}$ and $\operatorname{Pr}(X=3)=\operatorname{Pr}(X=4) =\operatorname{Pr}(X=6)=\operatorname{Pr}(X=8)=\frac{1}{12}$.

The expected value of $X$, denoted by $E[X]$, is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ . (rounded off to two decimal places)

A quadratic polynomial $(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)$ over complex numbers is said to be square invariant if $(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)=\left(x-\alpha^2\right)\left(x-\beta^2\right)$. Suppose from the set of all square invariant quadratic polynomials we choose one at random.

The probability that the roots of the chosen polynomial are equal is (rounded off to one decimal place)

The unit interval $(0,1)$ is divided at a point chosen uniformly distributed over $(0,1)$ in $R$ into two disjoint subintervals.

The expected length of the subinterval that contains 0.4 is _________ . (rounded off to two decimal places)

Suppose a 5-bit message is transmitted from a source to a destination through a noisy channel. The probability that a bit of the message gets flipped during transmission is 0.01. Flipping of each bit is independent of one another. The probability that the message is delivered error-free to the destination is __________ ( (Rounded off to three decimal places)
