Find the sum (Includes binomial coefficients) I came across this question under summation:
Find the sum: $$\sum_{r=0}^n \left[\frac{r}{n} - \alpha \right]^2 {n \choose r}x^r(1-x)^{n-r} $$
To start with this, I wrote it as $\sum_{r=0}^n \left[\frac{r-n\alpha}{n}  \right]^2 {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r(1-x)^{n}$
= $(1-x)^{n}\sum_{r=0}^n \left[\frac{r^2+n^2\alpha^2-2n\alpha r}{n^2}  \right] {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r$
= $(1-x)^{n}\left[\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{r^2}{n^2} {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r + \sum_{r=0}^n \alpha ^2 {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r - \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{2\alpha r}{n} {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r\right]$
Here, I found the values of individual sums by differentiating the binomial expansion of $\left(1+\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^n$.
I got :
$\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{r^2}{n^2} {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r = \frac{nx+n(n-1)x^2}{(1-x)^nn^2}$
$\sum_{r=0}^n \alpha ^2 {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r$ = $\alpha^2 \left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)^n$
$\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{2\alpha r}{n} {n \choose r}\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)^r$ = $\frac{2\alpha}{n}\left(\frac{nx}{(1-x)^n}\right)$
Substituting the values, finally I got the sum to be $\frac{x(1-x)}{n}+(x-\alpha)^2$.
Can anyone please verify if the answer is correct?

I can also verify that your approach and results are correct.
