Variance of Binomial Distribution/Proof 1

Theorem
Let $X$ be a discrete random variable with the binomial distribution with parameters $n$ and $p$.

Then the variance of $X$ is given by:
 * $\operatorname{var} \left({X}\right) = n p \left({1-p}\right)$

Proof 1
From the definition of Variance as Expectation of Square minus Square of Expectation:
 * $\operatorname{var} \left({X}\right) = E \left({X^2}\right) - \left({E \left({X}\right)}\right)^2$

From Expectation of Function of Discrete Random Variable:
 * $\displaystyle E \left({X^2}\right) = \sum_{x \mathop \in \operatorname{Im} \left({X}\right)} x^2 \Pr \left({X = x}\right)$

To simplify the algebra a bit, let $q = 1 - p$, so $p+q = 1$.

So:

Then:
