SINCE HALF OF THE NAILS ARE RUSTED, THERE ARE 6X(1/2)=3 RUSTED NAILS. TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS IS 10+6=16. SO PROBABILITY=3/16

Probability of choosing a nail is 6/16, where No. of nails = 6 and Total number of nails and nuts = 6+10= 16. Now that we have chosen nails, half of them are rusted. So probability is (6/16)*(1/2) = 3/16.

Probability that item is rusted P(A) = 8/16 , Probability that item is nail, P(B) = 6/16, Probability (rusted and nail) = P(A intersection B)

We have to find the probability of getting a rusted nail. Probability that it is a nail = 6/16 = 3/8. Probability that it is rusted = 1/2. So, probability that it is a rusted nail = 3/8*1/2 = 3/16.
