The answer is 11.

The numbers in the sequence are all prime numbers, and they are increasing by 3 each time. So, the missing number is the next prime number after 8, which is 11.

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number.
