Step 1
We can interpret this question as how to split seven students into groups of 3, 2 and 2.
Step 2
The number of ways of partitioning a set of n objects into r cells with n1 elements in the first cell, n2 elements in the second, and so on so forth, is n!n1! n2!  nr!
Therefore, the number of ways that 7 graduate students be assigned to one triple and two double hotel rooms during a conference is:
=7!3! 2! 2!
=504024
=210
