Suppose that a code (similar to a postal code) is of the form LDL DLD, where 'L' is an uppercase letter from A to N (i.e., 14 possible letters) and 'D' is a digit from 0 to 4. Suppose that such a code is randomly generated. Find the probability that the code either starts with an 'A' or ends with an even digit (note that 0 is even).
