For each ne N, determine (with proof!) the number of subsets of the set [n] the sum of whose elements is odd. For example, for n = 2, there are 2 such subsets of [2], namely {1} (the sum of the elements is 1) and {1,2} (the sum of the elements is 3).

For each ne N, determine (with proof!) the number of subsets of the set [n] the sum
of whose elements is odd. For example, for n = 2, there are 2 such subsets of [2], namely {1} (the
sum of the elements is 1) and {1,2} (the sum of the elements is 3).
