Hi Brandon,

I don't know if this can help, but on Bookshare, you can find a 
book by
David J. Sheskin called "Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric
Statistical Procedures, Fifth Edition". In my opinion, it is one 
of the
few textbooks that I found accessible both in its explanations and 
its
Bookshare versions.

Another useful resource, though it may be light for your level, is
stattrek.com, it has a number of introductory statistics 
tutorials. The
good thing is that the last time i checked, the math formulas were
written in plain text rather than images or even Mathml. I am sure
others would suggest other resources, that are accessible as well.


Wish you the best,



Ishe
