11 A class with 24 kids lines up for recess. The order in which the kids line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. There are two kids in the class, Finn and Jake. The use of the word "or" in the description of the events, should be interpreted as the inclusive or. That is "A or B" means that A is true, B is true or both A and B are true. What is the probability (as a simplified fraction) that Finn or Jake are first in line?
