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
