a.
Number of ways seven people can sit on chair = 7! = 5040
Let us group all three women as one. Then we have 1 group + 4 men = 5 to be arranged in 5 positions.
Number of ways women will sit together = Number of ways three women sit on 3 chairs in the group * Number of ways to arrange in 5 positions = 3! * 5! = 6 * 120 = 720
Probability that women will sit together = 720 / 5040 = 0.1429
b.
Number of ways men and women will sit alternately = Number of ways four men sit on alternate 4 chairs * Number of ways three women sit on 3 chairs = 4! * 3! = 24 * 6 = 144
Probability that men and women will sit alternately = 144 / 5040 = 0.0286
c.
If a man will sit in the first seat, then there are 6 people to be arranged in 6 chairs = 6! = 720
Probability that man will sit in the first seat = 720 / 5040 = 0.1429
d.
Let us group all four men as one. Then we have 1 group + 3 women = 4 to be arranged in 4 positions.
Number of ways men will sit together = Number of ways four men sit on 4 chairs in the group * Number of ways to arrange in 4 positions = 4! * 4! = 24 * 24 = 576
Probability that women will sit together = 576 / 5040 = 0.1143

1]: Five men, named A BCDE, and three women, named X Y Z, are to be seated in a row. How many arrangements are there if man A must sit next to a woman?
5. Stability of marriage. There are four men, α, β, γ, δ, and four women, A, B,C,D, The first number of each second number is the ranking of men by the women. For example, a-male ranks women C on third place, while C ranks α on the first place. A marriage profile is a pairing of men to women. A marriage profile is stable if there is no pair of a man and a woman who are not married to...
