distribution is used to describe the potential outcome of a random variable.

Limits the outcomes where the variable can only take on discrete values.

Bernoulli distribution

A random variable X is Bernoulli-distributed with parameter p if it has two possible outcomes usually encoded 1 (success or default) or 0 (failure or survival) where the probabilities of success and failure are and where .
