Abstract
SummaryWe give a simple probabilistic proof of an important combinatorial identity. In the process, we show via probabilistic arguments that there are exactly terms in the multinomial expansion of (λ1 + λ2 + ⋯ + λm)n. Also, an alternate probabilistic proof of the multinomial theorem is obtained using the convolution property of the Poisson distribution.
