A person's blood pressure is monitored by taking 5 readings daily.  The probability distribution of his readings has a mean of 130 and a standard deviation of 6.  Suppose the population distribution of his blood pressure readings is normal. What is the probability that the sample mean exceeds 135 for a sample size of 5.  Hint: First find the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
