Bernoulli distribution is a theoretical distribution of the number of successes in a finite set of independent trials with a constant probability of success. It is discrete distribution having two possible outcomes labelled by n = 0 and n = 1in which n = 1 ("success") occurs with probability p and n = 0 ("failure") occurs with probability q ≡ 1 - p, where 0 < p < 1.[1]
