Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  multiprecision
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0      |   Severity:  Cosmetic

 The current text on
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/multiprecision/doc/html/boost_multiprecision/tut/primetest.html

 says:
 These functions perform a Miller-Rabin test for primality, if the result
 is false then n is definitely composite, while if the result is true then
 n is prime with probability 0.25^trials.

 I believe it should say (1-0.25^trials), not 0.25^trials.
