How do you make a proof using PMI for (n) + (n) + (n)+...+(n) = 2^n 0 1 2 n using the binomial theorom?I...

If you throw a coin one time,the possiblities of outcome are  2= 2^1 Head or Tail


If you throw a coin 2 times, possiblities of outcome are: hh, th,ht,tt=4 =2^2 possiblities.


Similarly if the coin is thown 3 times , possblities are:hhh,hht,hth,thh,htt,tht,tth,ttt = 2^3.


Thus each trial has 2 possible outcomes.


If the coin is thrown  n times , the number possible outcomes are =2^n.


Let us see the other way these outcomes of n throws:


In n trials, number no heads


No heads and all are tails in ntrials is only one possiblityand symbolically it is nC0.


Number one head comining up of one head = nC1


Number of ways of appearing 2 heads =nC2


Number of ways of appearing 3 heads =nC3


Number of ways of appearing 4 heads =nC4


...........  ......... .................... .............



Number of ways of appearing all n heads=nCn.



Adding all the above ways heads from o heads to n heads in n trials exhausts all ways possiblities which is 2^n. Therefore,


nC0+nC1+nC2+nC4+................+nCn = 2^n
