If this drug is released for general use, what is the (empirical) probability that a person using the drug will suffer both a loss of appetite and a loss of sleep? The (ampirical) probability that a person using the drug will suffer both a loss of appesite and a loss of sleep is (Simplity your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.)
