This function returns either 0 or 1, the result of a Bernoulli trial with probability p. The probability distribution for a Bernoulli trial is,
p(0) = 1 - p p(1) = p
This function computes the probability p(k) of obtaining k from a Bernoulli distribution with probability parameter p, using the formula given above.
