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) |

(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 (η2).
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
η2 =
