%N Sum of the binary digits of all primes between 2^(n-1) and 2^n-1, i.e., with exactly n binary digits.

%C Sequence A168155 yields the partial sums.

%e No prime can be written with only 1 binary digit, thus a(1)=0.

%e The primes that can be written with 2 binary digits are 2 = 10[2] and 3 = 11[2], they have 3 nonzero bits, so a(2)=3.

%e Primes with 3 binary digits are 5 = 101[2] and 7 = 111[3]. They have a total of a(3)=5 nonzero bits.
