| Abstract | To design appropriate solid waste disposal methods, it becomes essential to know the characteristics of the solid waste. It is very necessary to decide a sample size and the corresponding number of samples to represent the whole of solid waste generating from an area. In this study, the optimal sample size and the corresponding number of samples were obtained for the city of Taipei, R.O.C. Data for 3000 kg was obtained for Taipei and using the Monte Carol technique, data for smaller sizes ranging from 1500 kg to 46.88 kg was simulated. Twelve different statistical distributions were fitted to the sample size to determine the optimal sample size and the number of samples. A relationship between. number of samples and population density, income variation and generation rate has also been development. |
