There are many discrete probability models based on Bernoulli trials
(eg coin tossing).
The basics are:
-
•
the sample space ,
-
•
the induced sample space , usually ,
-
•
independent trials, with
constant probability on each trial .
A random variable is function from to induced , with
pmf .
The construction of determines if the pmf is
Bernoulli, Binomial, Geometric etc:
