    Let \(\{X_i\}_{i=0}^\infty\) be a sequence of independent random variables taking the values \(\pm 1\) with equal probability. For a parameter \(\lambda\in (0,1)\), the Bernoulli convolution \(\nu_\lambda\) is the probability measure on \(\mathbb{R}\) which is the law of the random variable \(\sum\limits_{i=0}^\infty \lambda^i X_i\). The author proves that if \(\lambda\) is transcendental in \((0,1)\) then the dimension of the measure \(\nu_\lambda\) equals one.
