Question

12 people are having a dinner at a round table. What is the probability that two women don't sit next to each other, if there are 6 men and 6 women?

Expert Solution

Step 1 find the number of ways all can sit together

Since the total number of people are 12

The number of ways they can sit together is

12! = 479001600

#Now find the number of ways none two women can sit adjacent to each other .

Imagine a clock with 12 seats or chairs.

On the first chair is a man on the next chair is a women.

Repear this sitting arrangement and you will get a round table with men sitting adjacent to women and no women sitting adjacent to each other .
