We know 445 employees take the train, and that 321 of these exclusively take the train. So 445 - 321 = 124 take both the train and bus.

Now, if B is the set of employees that take the bus and T the set of employees that take the train, then

n(B\cup T)=n(B)+n(T)-n(B\cap T)=621+445-124=942

where n(A) is the number of employees belonging to a general set A.

So the probability that an employee takes either the bus or train is

\dfrac{n(B\cup T)}{1108}=\dfrac{942}{1108}\approx85\%

Since only half of the 8 white eggs are cracked, then there are 4 cracked, white eggs. The probability of drawing one of these 4 from the 18 total eggs is 4/18 which simplifies to 2/9 or 22%.
