For
r
,
s
∈
[
0
,
1
]
and
a
random variable
U
with the
uniform distribution
on
[
0
,
1
]
,
set
B
r
=
1
{
U
≤
r
}
and
B
s
=
1
{
U
≤
s
}
. Each has the corresponding
Bernoulli distribution
, and
P
(
B
r
=
B
s
)
=
∣
r
−
s
∣
, because disagreement occurs precisely between the two thresholds. This is
a
maximal coupling
of the two
laws
.
