Question 82

The table below shows the fuel type of each of 400 cars and whether its CO2 _2\,2​ emission is above 200 g/km.

Diesel30130160
Petrol90150240
Total120280400

One of these 400 cars is selected at random. The event D D\,D is that the car is diesel, and the event H H\,H is that its CO2 _2\,2​ emission is above 200 g/km.
