EXAMPLE
a(4)=2 since 2*p(4) = 14 = 3+11 = 7+7, and 3*11-2 = 31, 7*7-2 = 47 are prime.
MAPLE
a:= proc(n) local t, s, p, q;
t:= 2*ithprime(n);
s:= 0;
p:= 2;
do q:= t-p;
if q<p then break fi;
if isprime(q) and isprime(p*q-2) then s:= s+1 fi;
p:= nextprime(p)
od; s
end:
seq(a(n), n=1..100); # Alois P. Heinz, Aug 04 2011
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Module[{t = 2 Prime[n], s = 0, p = 2, q}, While[True, q = t - p; If[q < p, Break[]]; If[PrimeQ[q] && PrimeQ[p q - 2], s++]; p = NextPrime[p]]; s];
