in a game of contract bridge, partner and me together have 11 cards in a suite. The remaining 2 cards in the same suite can be distributed amongst our opponents as either 1-1 or 2-0.
What is the probability that it will be distributed as 1-1 and what is the probability it will be distributed as 2-0?
Once the above is solved, how can you extend it if more cards are missing. That is, let us assume that partner and me have 8 cards between us. How do you calculate the probability for the distributions (5-0, 4-1, 3-2)?
