In a game of chance, there are three boxes: Box A contains 5 red balls and 3 blue balls, Box B contains 7 red balls and 2 blue balls, and Box C contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. If a box is randomly chosen and a ball is drawn from it, what is the probability that the ball drawn is red? Consider all boxes are equally likely to be chosen.
