There are 3 math clubs in the school district, with 5, 7, and 8 students respectively. Each club has two co-presidents. If I randomly select a club, and then randomly select three members of that club to give a copy of "Introduction to Counting and Probability", what is the probability that two of the people who receive books are co-presidents?
