Description

Hi,

I am trying to create estimates for the insults data contained in the 5 minute extra questionnaire in wave 7 of understanding society. Specifically, I am using g_insulted96.

I am using the weight g_ind5mus_xw which I think is the correct one. However, it is shrinking my sample of Sikhs from 186 to 17. Can I still report the percentages for Sikhs based on the weighted sample?

Thank you in advance; I know it is a simple question but unfortunately one I don't know the answer to so any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry also to be pushy - I set the priority to high because I have a deadline looming :(
