A047171 Number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} in which exactly 1/2 of the elements are <= (n-1)/2. 4

%N Number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} in which exactly 1/2 of the elements are <= (n-1)/2.

%C For n>=1 the number of standard Young tableaux with shapes corresponding to partitions into two distinct parts. - _Joerg Arndt_, Oct 25 2012

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A047171/b047171.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a>

%F a(n) = A037952(n) - 1. Proof by Ira Gessel: Write down the number of such subsets with k elements <= (n-1)/2 as a product of two binomial coefficients, then evaluate the sum using Vandermonde's theorem.

%p a:= n-> binomial(n, iquo(n-1,2))-1:

%p seq(a(n), n=0..40); # _Alois P. Heinz_, Nov 17 2012

%t a[n_] := Binomial[n, Floor[(n-1)/2]]-1; a[0] = 0; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 40}] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Jul 03 2015 *)
