Bob the Quality Control Engineer wishes to determine the mean time required to dry peppers. A sample of 6 randomly-chosen peppers has a mean drying time of 70 hours with a sample standard deviation of 11 hours. Using a t-distribution, find a 90% one-sided lower confidence bound on the population mean drying time in hours. Give your answer to two decimal places.
