If I remember well, the idiot's workbook had a good section on null hypothesis with just enough information.
I did jump to several sources while preparing for this one, and I think I agree with Barcotta, it was a bit confusing at times (I had IC, Annenberg videos, the Demystified book-didn't read it, the idiot's workbook-skimmed through, Statistics in plain English book and some internet research).
One of the reasons this was somewhat counterproductive was the many different notations and representations of formulas used. The Annenberg videos were too fluffy for my taste as well (although I was watching them at 1.8-2x the normal speed, it was still boring at times), I believe I only winded up watching 7 videos (attempted 2 more of the ones towards the end just to see where it was going but decided to stick with books).
It's amazing that your 13 year old son is assimilating the material, he must be well ahead of his age, isn't he?! I wouldn't complain either, no matter how slow it gets, I'd surely do whatever takes if my son shows interest at such an age, you must be very proud of him.
Best of luck!
