Mean plus standard deviation is greater than the maximum in IBM SPSS Statistics

Troubleshooting


Problem

I have an ordinal variable with a scale of 1 to 5 in IBM SPSS Statistics. The mean, plus one standard deviation, is greater than 5. How can we assume a subset of cases in a normal distribution that theoretically fall above the maximum value?
