Question: A discrete memoryless source has an alphabet (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6} with corresponding probabilities {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.05, 0.15, 0.2}, Find the entropy

A discrete memoryless source has an alphabet (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6} with corresponding probabilities {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.05, 0.15, 0.2}, Find the entropy of this source. Compare the entropy with the entropy of a uniformly distributed source with the same alphabet which all alphabet have equal probability of 1/6
