Carryon weights

With respect to carryon bags, and the lack of weighing, how does an airline manage this?

Ie, you have 100 pax, do they multiply that by 7kg to come up with a "Carry-on-bag-weight" of 700Kg as standard, and include that in the ZFW?

Reason I ask is not everyone will have carryon, and not everyone's carryon will be right at the 7kg limit, thereby offsetting the overweight carryon bags for those that have them...
