Book sales study
I'm working on a PowerPoint project that uses the above expression various times, for example:
Base real: compradores
Base ponderada: compradores
In these cases "ponderada" seems to mean "estimated."
But then I ran across a title for a graphic that includes age, education, economic class, etc., and I came across SEXO (ponderado)-- what on earth does that mean? :o)

actual/target base
Just a suggestion. It could be distinguishing between the actual base and the target audience. In other words, the book may be targeted to the female public and in actuality it may be selling among men.

Hi Amy, re: your question....... data can be "weighted by sex (gender)" of course .... due to purchasing habits / occupation / age of retirement, etc. I hope that fits in your context.
