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

My teacher told be to try and think of it as a circle, because circles are 360 degrees. Then to place those angles in the circle and it should make it easier to find the angles, because when you see it in the circle, you can divide it into 4 parts so that you would then have 4, 90 degree angles that you can then work off of by placing those angles you need to find into the circle. It was supposed to make it easier, and i genuinely hope that you can do this. You got this, and you will get through the pain of math tonight and many more. Good luck. ^-^
