Two events are described as dependent if the outcomes/ occurrence of the first effects the outcome of the second so that the probability is changed. From the choices given, dependent event will be:
determining first, second and third place runners.

This is because, it will require the assumptions that previous races maybe considered to come up with the probabilities.
