An experiment with only two possible outcomes can be considered a Bernoulli trial.

True

The probability density function of a Bernoulli random variable is given by $f(x) = p^x(1-p)^{1-x}$, where $p$ is the probability of success.

True

The mean of a Bernoulli random variable is equal to its probability of success, $p$.

True

The variance of a Bernoulli random variable is given by $Var(X) = p(1-p)$.

True

The moment generating function of a Bernoulli random variable with probability of success $p$ is $M(t) = 1-p + pe^t$.

False

Test your knowledge on the fundamentals of Bernoulli distribution, a special discrete probability distribution with two possible outcomes: success and failure.
