The speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and standard deviation. A random sample of 11 vehicles has taken in results and a sample mean of 65 mph in a sample standard deviation of 9 mph. Find a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the students T- distribution. Round final answers to two decimal places.

The speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and standard deviation. A random sample of 11 vehicles has taken in results and a sample mean of 65 mph in a sample standard deviation of 9 mph. Find a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the students T- distribution. Round final answers to two decimal places. 
### Student's t-Distribution Critical Values Table

The table below provides critical values from the Student's t-distribution, commonly used in statistical analyses to determine confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.

#### Columns:
- **df**: Represents degrees of freedom, which is calculated as the sample size minus 1.
- **t<sub>0.10</sub>**, **t<sub>0.05</sub>**, **t<sub>0.025</sub>**, **t<sub>0.01</sub>**, **t<sub>0.005</sub>**: Correspond to the critical values at different significance levels (alpha values), where the subscript indicates the tail area in a two-tailed test.

#### Data:

- **df = 9**
  - t<sub>0.10</sub>: 1.383
  - t<sub>0.05</sub>: 1.833
  - t<sub>0.025</sub>: 2.262
  - t<sub>0.01</sub>: 2.821
  - t<sub>0.005</sub>: 3.250

- **df = 10**
  - t<sub>0.10</sub>: 1.372
  - t<sub>0.05</sub>: 1.812
  - t<sub>0.025</sub>: 2.228
  - t<sub>0.01</sub>: 2.764
  - t<sub>0.005</sub>: 3.169

- **df = 11**
  - t<sub>0.10</sub>: 1.363
  - t<sub>0.05</sub>: 1.796
  - t<sub>0.025</sub>: 2.201
  - t<sub>0.01</sub>: 2.718
  - t<sub>0.005</sub>: 3.106

- **df = 12**
  - t<sub>0.10</sub>: 1.356
  - t<sub>0.05</sub>: 1.782
  - t<sub>0.025</sub>: 2.179
  - t<sub>0.01</sub>:
