find the probability of not hitting one of the three cards and subtract from one.

1-[(43/52)*(42/51)*(41/50)] = .441 = 44.1%

in other words, more likely that a Q, 7 or 2 will come on flop than not.

somewhat related is the equation used to decide when its worthwhile to play high cards vs lowcards. As we've all seen before, there's about a 50% chance of high cards and an equal 50% chance that low cards will come, HENCE, the reason that 23 = KQ.

BIMO, QED.

But what about a K, 8, or 5? I have heard that is a better prop.

Maybe I'm being stupid here, but aren't there a total of 12 Q's, 7's, and 2's in the deck. That means that 40/52 are not any of these on the first draw, and we need a 40/52*39/51*38/50 shot to come in for none of these cards to come up = 44.7% that none of the cards will come up = 55.3% that one of them will. You want to bet for one of these cards to come.

A, K, or Q is the worst prop. Players stop and think "How often does one of those hit the flop when I have JJ?" and refuse the prop.
