When these same proposals were submitted to asecond independent panel of experts, the decision to fund was reversed in 20% of the cases. If the probability that a proposal is judged worthy of funding by the first panel is0.4, what are the probabilities of these events?(a) A worthy proposal is approved by both panels.(b) A worthy proposal is disapproved by both panels.(c) A worthy proposal is approved by one panel.
