Ask HN: Learning Statistics?

As an Applied Mathematician I just used books that talked about probabilities but for explaining my work to co-workers who were not trained I found the following to be helpful http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-and-Use-Basic-Statistics

For actual learning the following may be helpful https://blog.udemy.com/learn-statistics/

For open Source Books http://www.intechopen.com/search?q=statistics

HAve fun, and remember the famous quote From Mark Twain http://www.twainquotes.com/Statistics.html

A couple of good books:

How to lie with statistics (Good intro to concepts, light on actual math)

The cartoon guide to statistics (the first chapter or two covers what I learned in my college Intro to Stats class -- the rest is over my head)
