A box has 15 candies in it: 4 are butterscotch, 3 are peppermint, and 8 are taffy. (Each candy falls into only one of these categories.) Elsa 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 two candies selected are butterscotch? Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.
