Equality between double factorial and binomial coefficient

62 Views Asked by At

I read this formula, but I don't think it's right $$ \binom{1/4}{j} = \frac{(-1)^j(4j-5)!!}{4^j j!} $$

First off, I think that's $(-1)^{j+1}$. Then I have a product like $3\cdot7 \cdot11\cdot15 $. Does this expressed by $(4j-5)!!$?
