Given the following joint probability distribution for 2 Random Variables:

         X
             0          1           2
Y       -------------------------------
   0    | 1 / 3   |    0     |     0      |
        -------------------------------
   1    | 1 / 12 |   1 / 6 |  1 / 12  |
        -------------------------------
   2    |   0      |    0     |  1 / 3   |
        -------------------------------


Can anyone confirm to me the Mutual Information  [ I( X;Y) ] between the variables? I have an answer, I am just unsure it is correct. Thanks!
