Answer

We perform a two-sample t-test on the data and get that the degrees of freedom is 10.96, the t value is -3.74 and that the p-value is 0.0016. Therefore there is significant evidence that the food-supplemented females were more out of synchrony with the caterpillar peak than the controls. This agrees with the quoted conclusion.
