The probability distribution of a bridge hand affords a good example of drawings without replacement from a limited stock.

Let n drawings be made from such a stock. Let prs and qrs be the probabilities of success and failure after there have been r drawings with s successes, and let the probabilities in successive drawings be connected by the relation
