The Bernoulli distribution is a discrete probability distribution with two possible outcomes ("success" and "failure"). It takes value 1 with success probability p and value 0 with failure probability q = 1 − p.

Example

bernoulli(0.6) results in 60% chance of success (returns 1 with 60% probability).

bernoulli(double p)
