A district has 2020 schools with exactly 5050 students each. A two-stage sample first chooses 55 of the schools by simple random sampling, then chooses 1010 students by simple random sampling inside each chosen school. Two friends attend the same school. What is the probability that both of them end up in the sample? Express your answer as a common fraction.
