Can $sum_{i=0}^{z-n}frac{p_1^i}{i!}frac{p_{2}^{z-n-i}}{(z-n-i)!}$ be simplified? [on hold]
Can the following expression
$$sum_{i=0}^{z-n}frac{p_1^i}{i!}frac{p_{2}^{z-n-i}}{(z-n-i)!}$$
where $z$ is integer, be simplified (i.e., to loss the sum)?

Try multiplying by $(z-n)!$ and consider the Binomial Theorem.

Please give more context. Providing context not only assures that this is not simply copied from a homework assignment, but also allows answers to be better directed at where the problem lies and to be within the proper scope. Please avoid "I have no clue" questions. Defining keywords and trying a simpler, similar problem often helps.

Thanks @GCab, yes z is an integer.

This is just the binomial expansion of $(p_1+p_2)^{z-n}$.
