For the number N of occurring events, write Sj​=E(jN​) and Tm​=∑r=0m​(−1)r(kk+r​)Sk+r​. Then odd truncations bound Pr(N=k) below and even truncations above. For each integer N>k, the truncated binomial sum equals (−1)m(kN​)(mN−k−1​) when m<N−k, and is zero otherwise. Its sign proves the bounds on taking expectations. This is the exact-count version of the Bonferroni inequalities.
