Each of the first thirteen prime numbers is written on an individual piece of paper and put in a box.
If 2 pieces of paper are drawn without replacement, what is the probability that the sum of the 2 numbers will be a prime number?
If the probability can be expressed as \(\dfrac ab\) for coprime positive integers \(a\) and \(b\), find the value of \(a+b\).
