μ, cv g   % Parameters: mean and coefficient of variation.
Threshold (min), costU g   $ ⁄ g Nominal minimum, unit cost.
Barrier (max), costR g   $ ⁄ bag Maximum, recycle cost (per recycled bag).
Trials, seed     Monte Carlo trials (N), seed.
Level % Probability level of occurrence.
Simul. y-, x-axis bounds Simulation: axes bound in plot.
Plot points Simulation: n. of plot points.
Show values Show graph coordinates.

Computes sums, T (such as in Fig. 1), of numbers of items, n, not below a given threshold, and gives: the (continuous) distribution of T; and the (discrete) distribution of n.

Other suggested data: (μ, cv, thr) = (246.9  2.6 %  2000).

Shows the graphical results: (a) for T, and (b) for n.

Keywords: packaging; random; Monte Carlo; giveaway.
