Possible minor mistake in the Miller-Rabin primality test ?

Shouldn't the probability in the article: (3/4)100 be (1/4)100, according to the 3 propositions of the Miller-Rabin test, since the probability of not picking a witness each iteration is 1/4?

  • Yes, it should have been (1/4)100. Corrected now. Andris 15:29, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)
