A researcher believes that tomato variety has an effect on the yield response to side-dressed nitrogen. To account for this, the researcher grows two seedlings from each of the 10 tomato varieties. One seedling of each variety gets side-dressed nitrogen and the other receives no side-dressing. In this study, the observation for each variety in a sample is matched with the observation for the same variety in the other sample. Suppose the researcher intends to compare the two groups of tomato varieties.  What is the unit of interest and variable of interest? What is the appropriate test procedure in comparing the two groups (with and without side dressing)?
