The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \(6P(B)\) given that event B is independent with every subset of the sample space. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Independence**: - By definition, two events A and B are independent if \(P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)\). - The problem states that B is independent with every subset of the sample space. 2. **Analyzing the Implications**: - If B is independent with every subset of the sample space, it implies that the occurrence of B does not affect the occurrence of any other event in the sample space. - This can only be true if \(P(B) = 1\) or \(P(B) = 0\). However, since B is independent with every subset, we conclude that \(P(B) = 1\). 3. **Calculating \(6P(B)\)**: - Since we have established that \(P(B) = 1\), we can substitute this value into the expression \(6P(B)\). - Therefore, \(6P(B) = 6 \cdot 1 = 6\). 4. **Final Answer**: - The value of \(6P(B)\) is \(6\). ### Conclusion: The final answer is \(6\). ---
