Answer:

The answer is 0.992

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate of the probability of the event that at least two of the women are standing next to each other. We can simple subtract the probability of every women standing with a man from 1. So probability of every women standing with a man is 5!*4!/9!. Because they can only stand in order of WmWmWmWmW. So the answer is:

[tex]P(a)=1-(5!*4!)/9!=1-0.008=0.992[/tex]
