The Bernoulli distribution is a simple probability distribution that describes a random experiment with two possible outcomes: success and failure. It is named after the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli. In this distribution, the probability of success is denoted by p , while the probability of failure is 1 - p . This distribution is often used in scenarios like coin flips, where heads can represent success and tails represent failure. The Bernoulli distribution is a foundational concept in statistics and serves as the basis for more complex distributions, such as the Binomial distribution.
