when we want to estimate the Mean , Ratio, Proportion and Total. We can do that when using
the software package such as SPSS by activating the weight variable, or we can multiply all
the variables by the weight variable. Noting that the output estimates dont include the under
coverage which was calculated through the post-enumeration survey, they include only what
was actually counted.
