More on "Weight"

le>
Can you use the “weight” variable with any other variable?  For example is you want to know the total # of units with rents between $0 and $500 in an SMSA, then can you get a subset of data that meets that criteria and sum the weight for the observations to get an estimate of the total # of units in the SMSA with rents between $0 and $500?

 

Additionally, if you switch your focus to households and create a subset of data of households with incomes between $0 and $10000 in an SMSA, then can you sum the weight for those observations to get an estimate of the total # of households in the SMSA with incomes between $0 and $10000?

 

Thanks for assistance!
