    0.1647

    Step-by-step explanation:

    From the multiplication rule, we know that if two events are independent (which is the case here), then P (A and B) = P (A) * P (B)

    Let P (A) be the probability of Professor Jane being approved, thus P (A) = 0.61

    Let P (B) be the probability of Professor Joe being approved, thus P (B) = 0.27

    The probability of both their grants being funded would be P (A and B), since it would be the intersection between these two events.

    Thus, calculating: P (A and B) = 0.61*0.27=0.1647
