Answer:

\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\frac{5}{36}\)

Knowledge points:

5.3.1 evaluate probabilities in simple cases by means of enumeration of equiprobable elementary events, or by calculation using permutations or combinations (e.g. the total score when two fair dice are thrown.) (e.g. drawing balls at random from a bag containing balls of different colours.)
