Since I'll be indifferent, the set the probability of my testifying to .5.
Therefore, the expected sentences are:
His:
10(.5p) + 20(.5(1-p)) + 0 + 3(.5(1-p))
= 5p + 10 - 10p + 1.5 - 1.5p
= 11.5 - 6.5p

Mine:
10(.5p) + 0 + 20(.5p) + 3(.5(1-p))
= 5p + 10p + 1.5 - 1.5p
= 1.5 + 13.5p

I'm indifferent if
11.5 - 6.5p = 2(1.5 + 13.5p)
8.5 = 33.5p

p = 17/67

Well, Q1 is in the books, and the Steelers don't look so hot.

Sorry, none of those are correct.

Hint:
19 rib
might just as well be
11 rib
or
5 rib
