Solution

Step 1: Identify the total number of coins in the bag.

We have 20 1-dollar coins and 30 2-dollar coins. So, the total number of coins is 20 + 30 = 50 coins.

Step 2: Identify the number of favorable outcomes.

The question asks for the probability of selecting a 2-dollar coin. There are 30 2-dollar coins, so there are 30 favorable outcomes.

Step 3: Use the formula for probability to find the answer.

The formula for probability is:

P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

So, the probability of selecting a 2-dollar coin is:

P(2-dollar coin) = Number of 2-dollar coins / Total number of coins = 30 / 50 = 0.6

So, the probability of selecting a 2-dollar coin is 0.6.
