The reports also included comments resulting from field visits by technicians and supervisory coordinators Weights were calculated for each sampling unit and reflect the sampling procedures. Adjusted weights are important to reduce the bias resulting from non-responses and also to take account of changes since the Population, Housing and Establishments Census of 2007 was conducted. The survey sample consisted of 3,006 enterprises: 2,366 enterprises completed the interview, of which 1,796 enterprises were in the West Bank and 570 enterprises in the Gaza Strip.
