In probability theory and statistics, the Bernoulli distribution, named after Swiss scientist Jacob Bernoulli, is the probability distribution of a random variable which takes the value 1 with probability
and the value 0 with probability
. It can be used to represent a coin toss where 1 and 0 would represent "head" and "tail" (or vice versa), respectively. In particular, unfair coins would have
.
The Bernoulli distribution is a special case of the binomial distribution where a single experiment/trial is conducted (n=1). It is also a special case of the two-point distribution, for which the two possible outcomes need not be 0 and 1.
