%N Numbers n such that prime(n) + composite(n) is even.

%C For n > 1, numbers n such that the n-th composite number is odd. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 03 2012

%F Numbers n such that (A000040(n)+A002808(n))/2 is an integer.

%F a(n) ~ 2n since the primes have density 0. _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 03 2012

%e 8 is in the sequence since prime(8)=19, composite(8)=15, and their average 17 is an integer.
