In probability theory and statistics, the Bernoulli distribution, named after Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli,^[1] is the discrete probability distribution of a random variable which takes the value 1 with probability ${\displaystyle p}$ and the value 0 with probability ${\displaystyle q=1-p}$. Less formally, it can be thought of as a model for the set of possible outcomes of any single experiment that asks a yes–no question. Such questions lead to outcomes that are Boolean-valued: a single bit whose value is success/yes/true/one with probability p and failure/no/false/zero with probability q. It can be used to represent a (possibly biased) coin toss where 1 and 0 would represent "heads" and "tails", respectively, and p would be the probability of the coin landing on heads (or vice versa where 1 would represent tails and p would be the probability of tails). In particular, unfair coins would have ${\displaystyle p\neq 1/2.}$

The Bernoulli distribution is a special case of the binomial distribution where a single trial is conducted (so n would be 1 for such a binomial distribution). It is also a special case of the two-point distribution, for which the possible outcomes need not be 0 and 1.^[2]
