ANSWER
0.9738 or 97.38%
EXPLANATION
Given:

Desired Outcome:
Probability that it will last 10 years
z-score for the sample:

p-value
For the z-score of 1.9376, the p-value is 0.9738 or 97.38%
Hence, the probability that it will last longer than 10 years if you randonly purchase one item is 97.38%
Z=11 is the answer for this problem
To multiply powers is the same as adding them
3^-4 x 3^2 = 9^-2
9^-2 x 2^3 = 18^1 = 18
2^4 x 3^-3 = 6^1 = 6
18 / 6 = 3
I apologise if that’s wrong-
