Final answer:

There are different probabilities associated with picking a specific sweet based on the first and second sweets chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(B AND B)=P(BB) P(B AND R)=P(BR) P(R AND B)=P(RB) P(R AND R)=P(RR)
P(RR) here means P(R on 2nd|R on 1st)
P(BR) here means P(B on 2nd|R on 1st)
P(RB) here means P(R on 2nd|B on 1st) P(BB) here means P(B on 2nd|B on 1st)
