The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{50} \binom{50}{k} \binom{50}{50-k} \] This expression can be simplified using the properties of binomial coefficients. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Binomial Coefficient**: The term \(\binom{50}{k}\) represents the number of ways to choose \(k\) items from 50. The term \(\binom{50}{50-k}\) is equal to \(\binom{50}{k}\) due to the symmetry property of binomial coefficients, which states that \(\binom{n}{r} = \binom{n}{n-r}\). 2. **Rewriting the Expression**: The expression can be rewritten as: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{50} \binom{50}{k} \binom{50}{k} \] This is equivalent to: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{50} \left(\binom{50}{k}\right)^2 \] 3. **Using the Binomial Theorem**: According to the binomial theorem, the sum of the squares of the binomial coefficients can be expressed as: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \left(\binom{n}{k}\right)^2 = \binom{2n}{n} \] For our case, \(n = 50\): \[ \sum_{k=0}^{50} \left(\binom{50}{k}\right)^2 = \binom{100}{50} \] 4. **Final Calculation**: Therefore, the value of the original expression is: \[ \binom{100}{50} \] ### Conclusion: The final answer to the given expression is: \[ \binom{100}{50} \]
