%N The number of length n sequences on {0,1,2}(ternary sequences) that contain a prime number of 2's.

%C a(n) is the number of positive integers less than 3^n that when expressed as a ternary numeral contain a prime number of 2's.

%C a(n)/3^n is the probability that a series of Bernoulli trials with probability of success equal to 1/3 will result in a prime number of successes. Cf. A121497

%F E.g.f.:exp(2x)*(x^2/2!+x^3/3!+x^5/5!+...)

%F a(n) = Sum Binomial(n,p)*2^(n-p) where the sum is taken over the prime numbers.

%e a(3)=7 because 8,17,20,23,24,25,26 have a prime number of 2's in their ternary notation.
