Wendy wants to estimate the mean number of hours that college students sleep each night. She obtains a simple random sample of 41 college students and finds that the sample mean is 6.7 with a standard deviation of 1.9. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population mean and interpret your answer in a complete sentence (round numbers to 1 decimal place).
