Bernoulli Trial
A Bernoulli trial is a simple experiment with only two possible outcomes: success or failure. Each trial is independent, meaning the result of one doesn’t influence another. Think of flipping a coin—landing on heads is a success, tails is failure. The probability of success stays the same each time. Bernoulli trials are fundamental in probability theory and help analyze situations where events have two outcomes, such as answering a yes/no question or passing/failing a test. They form the basis for models that estimate the likelihood of success over multiple repetitions.
