Answer:
4.28 grams
Explanation:
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by the formula:

Given that:
P(x > 5.1 grams) = 5%, x = 5.1 grams, σ = 0.5 grams
P(x > 5.1 grams) = 5%
P(x < 5.1 grams) = 100% - 5% = 95%
P(x < 5.1) = 95%
From the normal distribution table, 95% corresponds with a z score of 1.645. Hence:

Answer:
Bellisima's opportunity cost:
Production of rye per million hours of labor = 24 / 12 = 2 pairs of jeans
Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 12 / 24 = 0.5 bushels of rye
Dolorium's opportunity cost:
Production of rye per million hours of labor = 32 / 8 = 4 pairs of jeans
Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 8 / 32 = 0.25 bushels of rye
Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
If both countries specialize:
Bellisima will produce 48 million bushels of rye.
Dolorium will produce 128 million pairs of jeans.
Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.
Total production of jeans has increased by 24 million pairs.
