This lesson is a part of the course Common Probability Distributions
A Bernoulli random variable is a random variable that takes a value of 1 in case of a success and a value of 0 in case of a failure. We can also say that this random variable has a Bernoulli distribution. A classic example is a single toss of coin. When we toss a coin, the outcome can be heads (success) with a probability p or tails (failure) with a probability of (1 – p). The important point here is a single toss of coin.
