The prime divisibility proportion conjecture for sporadic Apéry-like sequences

Let C(n)C(n) range over the Apéry-like sequences listed in Tables 2 and 3 of the source, including (η)(\eta) and the sequences (δ)(\delta), (α)(\alpha), (ϵ)(\epsilon), (ζ)(\zeta), and (γ)(\gamma). A prime divides a sequence if it divides at least one term. The sporadic Apéry-like sequence proportion conjecture. If C(n)C(n) is one of the sequences in Table 2 or is (η)(\eta), then the proportion of primes not dividing any C(n)C(n) is

12e1/2.\frac{1}{2}e^{-1/2}.

If C(n)C(n) is one of (δ)(\delta), (α)(\alpha), (ϵ)(\epsilon), (ζ)(\zeta), or (γ)(\gamma) from Table 3, then the proportion is

e1/2.e^{-1/2}.

The conjecture summarizes heuristic and numerical observations concerning divisibility of sporadic Apéry-like sequences; no resolution is supplied in the source.
