I am looking to evaluate $\sum_{k=0}^n 1/\binom{n}{k}$ so I type: sage: n = var('n') sage: k = var('k') sage: sum(1/binomial(n,k),k,0,n) (n + 1)*2^(-n)
and that answer is wrong. For example, with n=10 we get sage: sum(1/binomial(10,k) for k in range(11)) 1433/630 but the alleged answer of (n+1)*2^(-n) is 11/1024. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
