In the United States, 52% of adults have a pet. You want to know the probability that 1,000 randomly selected adults in the U.S. have a pet. Does the 10% condition apply to this problem so you can make the assumption that trials are independent? Enter 1 for yes or 2 for no.

The 10% condition states that if you are sampling without replacement, the sample size should be less than 10% of the population to consider the trials as approximately independent. In this case, the population of adults in the U.S. is very large, so a sample of 1,000 adults is less than 10% of the total adult population in the U.S.

Therefore, the 10% condition does apply, and you can assume that the trials are independent.

So, the answer is **1** for yes.
