Hi,

 

Say I run a survey among 5 people asking if someone uses SAS. For each person I can assign weight to reflect importance of each person for the population. Now I want to obtain number of people in the population using SAS.

 

I run:

 

data have;
	input id sas w;
	datalines;
	1 1 0.2
	2 0 0.05
	3 1 0.1
	4 1 0.95
	5 0 0.6
	;
run;

proc surveyfreq data = have;
	tables sas;
	weight w;
run;

 

Could you tell me which number in the output gives me the answer? Is it 65.7895% * 5 (weighted percentage multiplied by total number of observations)?

 

EDIT: obviously 65.7895% * 5 is wrong. I meant 65.7895% * number of observations in the population
