>From a student's point of view:
The Schaum's Outlines for Probability, or
The Schaum's Outlines for Introduction to Probability and Statistics
published by McGrawHill.
These books have a lot of worked out examples and problems with just the
answers. I'm using the probability book to practice and as a quick
refernce to probability concepts for my actuarial Course 1 exam and I
find it pretty helpful. Concise and precise.
