Consider a health utility questionnaire with only 3 domains (physical role, social role, and cognitive health), each of which has two levels (no problem and some problems). A person in perfect health has a utility score of 1.0 and a dead person has a score of 0 or less. Suppose the scoring algorithm is as follows:

*For some physical problem subtract 0.08

*For some social problem subtract 0.29

*For some cognitive problem subtract 0.35

*For 1 or 2 problems subtract 0.14

*For 3 problems subtract 0.40

Calculate the utility of a person having some cognitive problems and some social problems. (Round to 2 decimals)
