Answer:

No, the events are dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of two events occurring is:

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B given A)

If the events are independent (event A does not affect the probability of event B), then P(B given A) = P(B).

However, these events aren't independent.  If Abbie places first, it affects the probability of whether Becca places second.

P(B given A) ≠ P(B)

P(B given A) ≠ 0.08
