Remarks

The Bernoulli distribution is a discrete probability distribution that has two possible outcomes: 0 (failure) and 1 (success). The distribution has one parameter: the probability probability of success.

The Bernoulli distribution is the simplest discrete probability distribution. It forms the basis for several other distributions, as shown in the following table.

<_list type="table">DistributionDefinitionBinomialDistributionThe number of successes in n trials. GeometricDistributionThe number of failures before the first success. NegativeBinomialDistributionThe number of failures before the nth success.

Example

The distribution of heads and tails in a coin toss is a Bernoulli distribution with probability = 0.5. Which of heads or tails corresponds to a successful outcome is arbitrary in this case.
