Answer:

0.15%, or 15/100 of 1%, or 3/20 of 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean (23.3 oz), or between 23.1 oz and 23.5 oz.

95% of the data lies within 2 std. dev. of the mean, or between 22.9 oz and 23.3 oz.  

99.7% of the data lies within 3 std. dev of the mean, or between 22.7 oz. and  23.1 oz.

The remaining area under the curve is 100% - 99.7%, or 0.3%,  Only half of this, or 0.15%, is to the left of 22.7 oz.
