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.
