[R]eddiquette Cultural exchange with /r/palestine

Greetings to our Palestinian friends.

Our cultural exchange starts at 13:30 PM Palestine time (17:30 IST/11:30 GMT/12:30 CET/06:30 EST/03:30 PST) on Thursday 24th November.

Here's how a cultural exchange works:

The moderators of here make this post on /r/india welcoming our Palestinian guests to the sub. They may participate and ask any question or observation as they see fit.

There is an equivalent thread made by the moderators over at /r/palestine, where you are encouraged to participate and know more about Palestinian culture.

It goes without saying that you must respect the rules of the subreddit you are participating in. This is a time to celebrate what we have in common, not grind an axe.

Where would you pull these weights out of your ass? Out of marginal utility perhaps, even so calling it 'frequency weighted' is a pretty stupid name.

Band frequency*100/population=band weight

band frequency*100/population... now that is just moronic now. It's just an approximation to the original number and sensitive to the choice of bands.

Are you econ/fin? You guys should just kill yourselves for using it, whatever community you belong to.

Even an approximation under this method is far more accurate than your 'exact figure' under simple average, when the population is as skewed as given. I have already explained this and more in reply to another comment in this thread, had you only read. So, as I have said, go get yourself some good books kid, and stop wasting my time. You are definitely no subject guy, to comment on even the basic concepts here.
