Can someone help me figure out the probability of getting specific card combinations?

Hi, so try to imagine a deck of 15 cards

Each card contains a number from 1 through 15

The deck is then divided to 3 set of 5 cards

Set 1 = Card 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

set 2 = Card 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

set 3 = Card 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

Now, we take all the cards back and shuffle it then pull out 5 random cards

I want to know what are the chances of say, receiving card 14 and 13 from set 3, card 8 from set 2, and card 3 from set 1?

Sorry if it makes no sense. I'm just trying to figure out the RNG behind this premise
