De Moivre–Laplace theorem By wiki

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre%E2%80%93Laplace_theorem. Above is the wiki link related to De Moivre–Laplace theorem. And given by the condition of proof 1,my question is why p(n, k+1)-p(n,k) is equal to np-k-q. I don’t understand the result because p(n,k+1) is binomially distribution. Hopefully there are people  can show a more detail proving step.

Hello ,I’m so grateful for your answer but I don’t understand the second step yet. It should be sth like this or any simplified calculation. n!/(k+1)!(n-k-1)!) pk+1qn-k-1- n!/(k!(n-k)!)pkqn-k

Hi, Yes, just simplification, you just need to "open" those combinations and then simplify.
