Definition

The Bernoulli distribution is a discrete probability distribution which consists of Bernoulli trials.

Each Bernoulli trial has the following characteristics:

There are only two outcomes a 1 or 0, i.e., success or failure each time.
If the probability of success is p then the probability of failure is 1-p and this remains the same across each successive trial.
The probabilites are not affected by the outcomes of other trials which means the trials are independent.
