Statistical Weight The previous slides ignored
an important concept that of weight. Not weight
in kilograms but rather statistical weight.
Statistical weights are used to convert sample
counts and/or proportions into estimates for the
larger population being studied. Weights are
assigned (by statisticians) to each individual in
a sample, based on a variety of demographic and

how many people a given respondent represents
in the population being studied.
