Assume Ronaldo faces a utility function of the form U= 10\sqrt{I} , where log is the logarithm base 10, and I is Ronaldo's income. Assume also that Ronaldo is considering whether to play next season given that there is a 75% chance of injury, and therefore a loss in his yearly income of 10% for missed games and medical expenses.
