Let the sample space SSS be partitioned into three events AAA, BBB, and CCC, whose probabilities depend on a real parameter ppp such that P(A)=pP(A) = pP(A)=p, P(B)=2p2P(B) = 2p^2P(B)=2p2, and P(C)=1−p−2p2P(C) = 1 - p - 2p^2P(C)=1−p−2p2. An event EEE has conditional probabilities P(E∣A)=0.6P(E|A) = 0.6P(E∣A)=0.6, P(E∣B)=0.1P(E|B) = 0.1P(E∣B)=0.1, and P(E∣C)=0.2P(E|C) = 0.2P(E∣C)=0.2. What is the maximum possible value of P(E)P(E)P(E) over all mathematically valid values of ppp?
