A radioactive substance has a half life ...

A radioactive substance has a half life of `t_(0)`. Two particular nuclei let's name them as nucleus A and B - have not decayed over a particular observation period of `6t_(0)` The probability that both A and B will survive over a further period of `3t_(0)` is `(y)/(8z)` Find y+z (y and z are least possible integral values)
