Bug reference:      15819
Logged by:          KOIZUMI Satoru
Email address:      koizumistr@minos.ocn.ne.jp
PostgreSQL version: 11.3
Operating system:   (Any)
Description:

In example of random_zipfian,  the explanation is "which itself(2) is
produced (3/2)*2.5 = 2.76 times more frequently than 3".
"(3/2)*2.5 = 2.76" is wrong. The correct expression is "(3/2)**2.5 = 2.76".
