An article presents a study of the effect of the subbase thickness on the amount of surface deflection caused by aircraft landing on an airport runway. In six applications of a 160 kN load on a runway with a subbase thickness of 864 mm, the average surface deflection was 2.21 mm with a standard deviation of 0.090 mm. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean deflection caused by a 160 kN load. Round the answers to three decimal places. The 90% confidence interval is (
