BERNOULLIDISTRIBUTED(k,p)

This function gives the value of the Bernoulli distribution.
It is a discrete probability distribution.
Bernoulli distribution is the theoretical distribution of the number of successes in a finite set of independent trials with a constant probability of success.
The Bernoulli distribution is simply BINOM(1,P).
This distribution best describes all situations where a trial is made resulting in either success or failure, such as when tossing a coin, or when modeling the success or failure.
$BERNOULLIDISTRIBUTED(k,p)$ , $k$ represents the number of variables.
$p$ is the probability value. The $p$ vaule is ranges from 0 to 1.
The Bernoulli distribution is defined by: $f(x)=p^{x}(1-p)^{1-x}$ for x=0,1, where $p$ is the probability that a particular event will occur.
The probability mass function is : $f(k,p)={\begin{cases}p&if&k=1\\1-p&if&k=0.\end{cases}}$
This function will give the result as error when

      1. Any one of the argument is nonnumeric.
      2. The value of p<0 or p>1.
