Abstract
In an elementary statistics course, the topic of combinations may be desired for computing the binomial probabilities, but the topic of permutations may be unnecessary. It is possible to explain combinations thoroughly without discussing permutations. The formula for the binomial coefficient is proved for successively larger samples by augmenting the samples of a given size, using the induction principle. For small sample sizes, it is easy to avoid mentioning factorials.
