There is sth wrong to the demonstration. If we the same formula to find out for example the probability of getting 4 heads in 8 flips, than we have 27%, and is clearly that the probability should be 50%

@Asmor Thank you !

@aew782 Subtract the same number from the exponents on both the top and bottom. Just to keep things clean, let's say it's just 2^3/2^8 = 2^(3-3)/2^(8-3) = 2^0/2^5 = 1 / 2^5.
Another way to understand is to expand them out. 2^3/2^8 = (2x2x2)/(2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2). Then you just cancel top and bottom and you're left with 1/2x2x2x2x2 = 1/2^5
Hope that helps!
