The purpose of the present work was to determine the size sample in order to estimate soluble solid contents in yellow melon plot. Samples of fifty fruits were taken of fifteen yellows melon plots grown in Mossoró- Assu Agricultural Pole. Evaluation for total soluble solid contents was done in all fruit samples. The procedures used for sample size estimation were bootstrap method and classical expression with 5% and 10% of error limit. The sample sizes estimated by bootstrap method, in average, yielded estimates close to those observed in the classical expression with 10% of error limit, although in ten plots these sample sizes were greater in the bootstrap method. The sample size recommended to estimate the total soluble solid contents in cultivated plots of melon fruits is fifteen.
