The problems of conditional entropy's definition and the formula to compute conditional entropy are analyzed from various perspectives, and the corrected computing formula is presented. Examples are given to prove the conclusion that conditional entropy never be increased is not absolute, thus the representation that information is to decrease uncertainty in the definition of information is not absolutely correct.
