If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events. I will do one problem for you, to illustrate the process.
(b) .70^6
(c) This means that 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 have mental illness.
Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.
