  2. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    Alternative notations include C(n, k), n C k, n C k, C k n, [3] C n k, and C n,k, in all of which the C stands for combinations or choices; the C notation means the number of ways to choose k out of n objects. Many calculators use variants of the C notation because they can represent it on a single-line display.

  3. Combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

    In mathematics, a combination is a selection of items from a set that has distinct members, such that the order of selection does not matter (unlike permutations).For example, given three fruits, say an apple, an orange and a pear, there are three combinations of two that can be drawn from this set: an apple and a pear; an apple and an orange; or a pear and an orange.

  4. Central binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_binomial_coefficient

    The central binomial coefficients give the number of possible number of assignments of n-a-side sports teams from 2n players, taking into account the playing area side The central binomial coefficient ( 2 n n ) {\displaystyle {\binom {2n}{n}}} is the number of arrangements where there are an equal number of two types of objects.

  5. Pascal's triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_triangle

    In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is an infinite triangular array of the binomial coefficients which play a crucial role in probability theory, combinatorics, and algebra.In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in Persia, [1] India, [2] China, Germany, and Italy.

  6. Pascal's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_rule

    It states that for positive natural numbers n and k, + = (), where () is a binomial coefficient; one interpretation of the coefficient of the x k term in the expansion of (1 + x) n. There is no restriction on the relative sizes of n and k , [ 1 ] since, if n < k the value of the binomial coefficient is zero and the identity remains valid.

  7. Stars and bars (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_bars_(combinatorics)

    For any pair of positive integers n and k, the number of k-tuples of positive integers whose sum is n is equal to the number of (k − 1)-element subsets of a set with n − 1 elements. For example, if n = 10 and k = 4, the theorem gives the number of solutions to x 1 + x 2 + x 3 + x 4 = 10 (with x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 > 0) as the binomial coefficient

  8. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    The binomial distribution is the PMF of k successes given n independent events each with a probability p of success. Mathematically, when α = k + 1 and β = nk + 1, the beta distribution and the binomial distribution are related by [clarification needed] a factor of n + 1:

  9. Egorychev method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egorychev_method

    The Egorychev method is a collection of techniques introduced by Georgy Egorychev for finding identities among sums of binomial coefficients, Stirling numbers, Bernoulli numbers, Harmonic numbers, Catalan numbers and other combinatorial numbers.
