To determine the confidence interval for the true mean for the parameter which distribution should be used?

A local environmental group is concerned about increasing mineral content near a new manufacturing facility. Three years ago the silica content in a local river was determined to be 23 mg/L (in the range of 5 to 25 mg/L commonly found in natural waters). Recently, 6 samples were taken which had an average of 26 mg/L and standard deviation of 1.6 mg/L. An hypothesis test is to be performed to see if, with a confidence level of 90%, the silica level has increased. For this hypotheses test, the test statistic is
