The probability that Joe is not accepted by University A is 0.75 (1 - 0.25), and the probability that he is not accepted by University B is 0.60 (1 - 0.40). The probability that he is not accepted by either university is 0.75 * 0.60 = 0.45. Therefore, the probability that he is accepted by at least one university is 1 - 0.45 = 0.55.
