COMMENTS
This and the related sequences A073505-A073517 and A006880, A073548-A073565 are included because there is interest in the distribution of primes by their initial or final digits.

FORMULA
A073505(n) + A073506(n) + A073507(n) + a(n) + 2 = A006880(n).
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 5 because there are 5 primes == 9 (mod 10) less than 10^2. They are 19, 29, 59, 79 and 89.
MATHEMATICA
c = 0; k = 9; Do[While[k < 10^n, If[PrimeQ[k], c++ ]; k += 10]; Print[c], {n, 1, 10}]
