A box contains 10 red marbles, 8 blue marbles, and 6 green marbles. Three marbles are drawn without replacement from the box. What is the probability that the first marble drawn is red, the second marble drawn is blue, and the third marble drawn is green, given that each marble is drawn randomly and without replacement, and assuming the box is well-mixed?
