For a regional library network, it is known that:

  • the probability that a registered user borrows an e-book is P(E)=25P(E) = \frac{2}{5}P(E)=52​
  • the probability that a registered user borrows an audiobook is P(A)=37P(A) = \frac{3}{7}P(A)=73​
  • the probability that a registered user borrows an audiobook given that they borrow an e-book is P(A∣E)=14P(A|E) = \frac{1}{4}P(A∣E)=41​

Calculate the probability that a registered user borrows an e-book or an audiobook or both.
