• The notions of fair measure and fair entropy were introduced by Misiurewicz and Rodrigues [13] recently, and discussed in detail for piecewise monotone interval maps. In particular, they showed that the fair entropy $h(a)$ of the tent map $f_a$, as a function of the parameter $a = \exp(h_{top}(f_a))$, is continuous and strictly increasing on $[\sqrt{2},2]$. In this short note, we extend the last result and characterize regularity of the function $h$ precisely. We prove that $h$ is $\frac{1}{2}$-Hölder continuous on $[\sqrt{2},2]$ and identify its best Hölder exponent on each subinterval of $[\sqrt{2},2]$. On the other hand, parallel to a recent result on topological entropy of the quadratic family due to Dobbs and Mihalache [7], we give a formula of pointwise Hölder exponents of $h$ at parameters chosen in an explicitly constructed set of full measure. This formula particularly implies that the derivative of $h$ vanishes almost everywhere.
