We know that the normal distribution has the following properties:

From this we conclude that:

The probability of getting a number that is at least five standard deviations above the mean of the normal distribution

We also know that in any continuous distribution the probability of any single value is excactly zero, then:

The probability of getting a number that is exactly one standard deviation from the mean of the normal distribution.
