Need help witht his practice problem

There are 5,673 students enrolled at the University of New Mexico Suppose I ask
each one of them to pick a number between 1 and 10, and then sum their
responses. Call the result Z. We will assume that each student's response is
independent and uniformly distributed; clearly, E[Z] = 5.5 ⋅ 5, 673 = 31201.5.
What is the probability that Z> 31, 500?
