Fix Bernoulli question 1 to focus on scenario understanding
- Changed from "Which distribution models this?" (implies multiple options) - Now asks "Is this well-modeled by Bernoulli? Why or why not?" - Answer explains the three key requirements: single trial, two outcomes, fixed probability - More pedagogically appropriate when Bernoulli is the only distribution covered so far

**Bernoulli distribution** - Single trial with two possible outcomes (defective vs. not defective).
259+
**Yes** - This scenario perfectly fits the Bernoulli distribution requirements:
260+
- **Single trial**: Checking one product
261+
- **Two possible outcomes**: Defective (success/1) or not defective (failure/0)
262+
- **Fixed probability**: The defect rate is constant for each product
263+
264+
If the defect rate is 5%, we'd use Bernoulli(p=0.05).

2. For a Bernoulli distribution with p = 0.3, what is P(X = 0)?
