Aug 19, 2020 at 1:41 comment added Jose Arnaldo Bebita Thank you for your answer, @AaronMeyerowitz. Assuming $$1 - \frac{p-1}{p^2} < 1 - \frac{1}{p-1}$$ is correct, then we obtain $$\frac{1}{p-1} < \frac{p-1}{p^2}$$ which implies that $$p^2 < (p-1)^2 = p^2 - 2p + 1$$ resulting in the contradiction $$p < \frac{1}{2}.$$ Hence, I am led to conclude that there must be a typo in your upper bound for $$1 - \frac{p-1}{p^2}.$$
