What is the difference between Bernoulli, Binomial, and Geometric distributions?
Updated May 17, 2026

Bernoulli is one trial, Binomial is multiple trials, and Geometric measures trials until first success.
Deep explanation
Bernoulli models a single binary outcome. Binomial sums multiple independent Bernoulli trials. Geometric measures waiting time for first success. All are related but differ in structure and question being asked.
