Consider the following identity: n 2 2n Σ (1)² - (²). = k=0 (1) Perhaps it seems mysterious? But if you try a few small values of n, you may begin to suspect it is correct. (a) Suppose n€ N and that we have a set S of cardinality 2n containing n distinct objects, all coloured red, and n distinct objects, all coloured blue. Let k = Z satisfy 0 < k < n. How many ways are there to sample n objects from S, subject to k of them being red? Briefly justify your answer.
