What is bernoulli distribution?
Bernoulli distribution: The distribution of a single yes-or-no trial: the variable takes the value 1 with probability p and 0 with probability 1 - p. Its mean is p and its variance is p(1 - p). It models any binary outcome.
Bernoulli distribution: an example
A customer clicks an ad with probability 0.03: X = 1 for a click, 0 otherwise.
