Answer 2

lol i hate you dan
Ok so here is what i propose
There are 4 seats and 12 ppl; 4 men 8 women
We wanna know what the probability that all 4 seats are women
( Lets forget abt the other seats cuz I dont think we even care abt them)
Ok so the first seat the probability that it will be a woman is 8/12
Then the next seat .. one woman has been seated so there are 7 women and 11 ppl in total left
SO the probability that the next seat will be a woman too is 7/11
Using the same logic the next seat will be 6/10
And obviously the last seat will be 5/9
SOOO the probability that all 4 seats will be women is :
\[\frac{8}{12}*\frac{7}{11}*\frac{6}{10}*\frac{5}{9}=.14\]
