A tail length of 23.94 cm is at the 40th percentile for these lizards.
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x\ is\ raw\ score, \mu\ is\ mean,\sigma\ is\ standard\ deviation\\\\\\Given\ that:\\\mu=22.5\ cm,\sigma = 3.6\ cm[/tex]
For the 40th percentile, that is z = 40% = 0.4:
[tex]0.4=\frac{x-22.5}{3.6} \\\\x=23.94\ cm[/tex]
