Bernoulli normalizes the expected value by assuming that p i are the probabilities of all the disjoint outcomes of the value, hence implying that p 0 + p 1 + ... + p n = 1. Another key theory developed in this part is the probability of achieving at least a certain number of successes from a number of binary events, today named Bernoulli trials ...
