          The Bernoulli distribution is a discrete distribution of the outcome of
          a single trial with only two results, 0 (failure) or 1 (success), with
          a probability of success p.
        </p>
<p>
          The Bernoulli distribution is the simplest building block on which other
          discrete distributions of sequences of independent Bernoulli trials can
          be based.
        </p>
<p>
          The Bernoulli is the binomial distribution (k = 1, p) with only one trial.
