Calculate $E[X]^2$ where $X \sim \operatorname{Binomial}(n,p)$ with binomial coefficients ex... [closed]

Calculation of $EX$ using the binomial expansion formula is easy: \begin{align} EX &= \sum_{x=0}^{n}x\frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}\\& = np \sum_{x=1}^{n}\frac{(n-1)!}{(n-x)!(x-1)!}p^{x-1}(1-p)^ …
