Hello everyone,

I am working on a project where I need to calculate the sex ratio. To be sure that I am calculating the ratios correctly, I thought of comparing the figures with the official report using the sample weight. But my numbers somewhat off. Could anyone advise where am I going wrong? Am I using the wrong weights (although I have tried one by one with various weights given in the data). Your help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Neha
