Hello I got stuck on this problem for my math class and could use some help understanding it.

To demonstrate flavor aversion learning (that is, learning to dislike a flavor that is associated with becoming sick), researchers gave one group of laboratory rats an injection of lithium chloride immediately following consumption of saccharin-flavored water. Lithium chloride makes rats feel sick. A second control group was not made sick after drinking the flavored water. The next day, both groups were allowed to drink saccharin-flavored water. The amounts consumed (in milliliters) for both groups during this test are given below.

Amount Consumed

by Rats That Were

Made Sick (n = 4): 4,4,5,1

Amount Consumed

by Control Rats (n = 4): 12,7,11,8

(a) Test whether or not consumption of saccharin-flavored water differed between groups using a 0.05 level of significance. State the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(b) Compute effect size using eta-squared (2). (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

2 =
