Bernoulli Trial
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A single random experiment with only two possible outcomes (success/failure), where the probability of success is p. Multiple independent Bernoulli trials constitute a binomial distribution.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
The cornerstone of probabilistic thinking. It decomposes complex random phenomena into the simplest "coin-flip" basic units.
Anchor fast decisions
A single random experiment has only two outcomes (success/failure), with a constant probability p of success, and each trial is independent. Multiple independent trials form a binomial distribution—the atomic unit of probabilistic thinking.
