Official Solution
Probability of drawing 2 green balls and one blue ball
$= {P_G} \cdot {P_G} \cdot {P_B} + {P_B} \cdot {P_G} \cdot {P_G} + {P_G} \cdot {P_B} \cdot {P_G}$
$= \frac{3}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{7} \cdot \frac{2}{6} + \frac{2}{8} \cdot \frac{3}{7} \cdot \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{7} \cdot \frac{2}{6}$
$= \frac{1}{{28}} + \frac{1}{{28}} + \frac{1}{{28}} = \frac{3}{{28}}$
