A box has 12 candies in it: 6 are caramel, 3 are butterscotch, and 3 are taffy. Greg wants to select two candies to eat for dessert. The first candy will be selected at random, and then the second candy will be selected at random from the remaining candies. What is the probability that the first candy selected is caramel and the second candy is taffy? Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.
