The two probabilities are independent of each other. Simply we use


P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)

Given: P(A) = 0.59 and P(B) = 0.37

Therefore, the probability that tomorrow there will be indeed be an earthquake in olympia and former US president trump will also visits the giza pyramid​ is


\begin{gathered} P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B) \\ P(A\cap B)=(0.59)(0.37) \\ P(A\cap B)=0.2183 \end{gathered}
