COMMENT

Number of 2 X n binary arrays with a path of adjacent 1's from top row to bottom row. - Ron Hardin (rhhardin(AT)att.net), Mar 21 2002

a(n)/4^n is the probability that two randomly selected (with replacement) subsets of [n] will have at least one element in common if the probability of selection is equal for all subsets. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), May 09 2009]
