Let $$\left( {{X_1},\,{X_2}} \right)$$ be independent random variables, $${X_1}$$ has mean 0 and variance 1, while $${X_2}$$ has mean 1 and variance 4. The mutual information I $$\left( {{X_1},\,{X_2}} \right)$$ between $${{X_1}}$$ and $${{X_2}}$$ in bits is ________________.

Let $$X(t)$$ be a wide sense stationary random process with the power spectral density $${S_x}\left( f \right)$$ as shown in figure (a), where $$f$$ is in Hertz $$(Hz)$$. The random process $$X(t)$$ is input to an ideal low pass filter with the frequency response $$$H\left( f \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {1,} & {\left| f \right| \le {1 \over 2}Hz} \cr {0,} & {\left| f \right| > {1 \over 2}Hz} \cr } } \right.$$$

As shown in Figure (b). The output of the low pass filter is $$y(t)$$.

Let $$E$$ be the expectation operator and consider the following statements :
$$\left( {\rm I} \right)$$ $$E\left( {X\left( t \right)} \right) = E\left( {Y\left( t \right)} \right)$$
$$\left( {{\rm I}{\rm I}} \right)$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,E\left( {{X^2}\left( t \right)} \right) = E\left( {{Y^2}\left( t \right)} \right)$$
$$\left( {{\rm I}{\rm I}{\rm I}} \right)\,$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,E\left( {{Y^2}\left( t \right)} \right) = 2$$

Which one of the following options correctly describes the locations of the roots of the equation s⁴ + s² + 1 = 0 on the complex plane?

A linear time invariant (LTI) system with the transfer function $$$G\left(s\right)=\frac{K\left(s^2+2s+2\right)}{s^2-3s+2}$$$ is connected in unity feedback configuration as shown in the figure.

For the closed loop system shown, the root locus for 0 < K < $$\infty$$ intersects the imaginary axis for K = 1.5. The closed loop system is stable for
