binomial coefficient

Mathematics
  • The number, denoted by (nr), where n is a positive integer and r is an integer such that 0 ≤ r ≤ n, defined by the formula

    (nr)=n(n1)(nr+1)1×2××r=n!r!(nr)!.

    Since, by convention, 0! = 1, we have (n0)=(nn)=1. These numbers are called binomial coefficients because they occur as coefficients in the Binomial Theorem. They are sometimes denoted by nCr; this notation arose as the binomial coefficient equals the number of ways of selecting r objects out of n (see selection). The numbers have the following properties:

    (i)(nr)is an integer (this is not obviousfrom the definition).(ii)(nnr)=(nr).(iii)(n+1r)=(nr1)+(nr).(iv)(n0)+(n1)+(n2)++(nn)=2n.

    It is instructive to see the binomial coefficients laid out in the form of Pascal’s triangle.


Statistics
  • The coefficient of a power of x in the binomial expansion of (1+x)n. The general binomial coefficient is defined, for any value of n and for any positive integer r, bybinomial coefficientBy convention, . Suppose now that n is a non-negative integer. In this case is an integer and . Furthermore,binomial coefficientIf rn then is also written as nCr (see combination) andbinomial coefficientThe phrase ‘binomial coefficient’ appears in English in a mathematics text of 1876.
