I wouldn't focus on this area until you've mastered the other topics of gmat quant. The reason being that probability problems usually only appear when you reach the hardest quant questions if at all (I got 49 on Q and didn't see a single probability question, but lots of the usual suspects).

Moved this topic to the GMAT Math area...

I agree with mayonnai5e 100%. Focus on the fundamental math areas first before diving into these advanced topics--you're only going to see a handful of them at most on your actual test.
