Suppose that a robot is placed on the Cartesian plane. At each step it is allowed to move either one unit up or one unit right, i.e., if it is at $$(i, j)$$ then it can move to either $$(i+1, j)$$ or $$(i, j+1)$$

How many distinct path are there for the robot to reach the point $$(10, 10)$$ starting from the initial position $$(0, 0)$$?

Suppose that the robot is not allowed to traverse the line segment from $$(4, 4)$$ to $$(5,4)$$. With this constraint, how many distinct path are there for the robot to reach $$(10, 10)$$ starting from $$(0,0)$$?

Consider the polynomial $$P\left( x \right) = {a_0} + {a_1}x + {a_2}{x^2} + {a_3}{x^3},$$ where $${a_i} \ne 0,\forall i$$. The minimum number of multiplications needed to evaluate $$p$$ on an input $$x$$ is

For each elements in a set of size $$2n$$, an unbiased coin in tossed. The $$2n$$ coin tosses are independent. An element is chhoosen if the corresponding coin toss were head.The probability that exactly $$n$$ elements are chosen is
