On your TI-84,

press STAT
press right arrow twice to highlight TESTS
scroll down to 8:TInterval...
press ENTER

         TInterval    
     Inpt:Data Stats    <--Highlight Stats
     x:54.68
     Sx:4.42
     n:6
     C-Level:0.90
     Calculate          <--Highlight Calculate

It takes a few seconds to calculate. You'll see:

        TInterval
    (51.044,58.316)
    x=54.68
    Sx=4.42
    n=6

The answer is (51.044,58.316) or 51.044 < x < 58.316
