Bernoulli trials
A Bernoulli trial is a random experiment with two possible outcomes: success and failure.
You will imitate the shots of basketball players with various skill levels.
Let's assume that the value 1 represents a goal and the value 0 a miss.
The outcomes of the shots might be presented as a vector.
For example, the vector c(1, 1, 0) means that the player has scored twice and then missed once.
The Bernoulli distribution is a particular case of the binomial distribution where a single trial is conducted (so size amounts to 1).
Recall that bar plots are great for visualizing discrete distributions.
