Anjali brought a snack size of M & Ms to school for a snack. There were 7 brown, 4 green, 2 yellow, 4 red, and 5 orange M & Ms in the bag. Each time she takes an M & M out of the bag she eats it. What is the probability that the first three candies that she pulls out of the bag are brown, red, and brown?
