Box $1$ contains three cards bearing numbers $1, 2, 3$; box $2$ contains five cards bearing numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$; and box $3$ contains seven cards bearing numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$. $A$ card is drawn from each of the boxes. Let $x_i$ be the number on the card drawn from the $i^{\text{th}}$ box,$i = 1, 2, 3$.
