In the theory of probability and statistics, a Bernoulli trial (or binomial trial) is a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted.
It is named after Jacob Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician of the 17th century.
The mathematical formalization of the Bernoulli trial is known as the Bernoulli process.
