Residential Density and Illegal Waste Dumping In Cities by Mahamba C, and Ruhiiga TM

“…Given an F-value of 15.305 and a significance at 0.000, it can be concluded that the predictor variables deployed in the study can reliably predict the response of Y1. Conclusion: The novelty of the study is in developing an alternative explanation for the apparent contradiction between low income dis- tricts and high volumes of waste dumping. …”
