Compute the z-score:
z = (622.3 − 674.0) / 26.6 = −51.7 / 26.6 ≈ −1.94.

This value is about 1.94 standard deviations below the mean. A common rule is that observations more than 2 standard deviations from the mean are considered "unusual." Since |z| < 2, 622.3 would not be considered unusual (it’s close to the cutoff, so slightly uncommon but still within the usual range).
