I need something that deciphers what the symbols mean. p X etc etc. I need a complete cheat sheet with formulas and a glossary. I can plug and play numbers just fine. It is the damn symbols in the equasion that screws me up.

p = probability
n = sample size
beyond that, it's hard to say since there are many different tests/formulas... Some may use overlapping:
R in ranked tests refers to rank, but in correlation tests, means something completely different.
No bypassing this except studying your butt off.
My experience with biostats actually never touches the plug/play side... It's not really useful to know all the formulas, since packages in R/Python/Matlab/SPSS all have those things pre programmed. Not to mention in real life situations, biological data sets are usually large enough where it's unfeasible for a human to do the calculations.
