After reading a bit of the inclusion exclusion principle i was trying to do some examples and got stuck on this one.
Show with the inclusion-exclusion principle that for $m,n \ge 0 $ the following identity holds
$${n \choose m } = \sum_{k=m}^n (-1)^{k-m} {k \choose m}{n \choose k } 2^{n-k} $$
Hint: First make the sum go backwards, that is, do the change of variable $k' = n-k$(the form becomes easier with what I am going to propose). Lets say you need a committee of at least $m$ people. The way you select the committee is by first choosing $m$ people and then the people that was not selected go to a second part of the process in which they can or cant's be part of the committee.
