Bernoulli Trial

A random event that has three properties: (a) Its result must be characterized by a success or a failure; (b) The probability of a success must be the same for all trials; and, (c) The outcome of each trial must be independent of the outcomes of the other trials. The toss of a fair coin satisfies the conditions of a Bernoulli trial.
