Examples for

Bernoulli Trials

Bernoulli trials are any sequence of independent, random experiments with exactly two possible outcomes and in which the probabilities of success or failure are respectively the same for each individual trial. The computational power of Wolfram|Alpha enables you to conduct your own Bernoulli trials and calculate the probability for a sequence of trials, any specified outcome of successes and failures, or the number of trials required to find a specific number of successes or failures.
