Was reading the above article, and it kinda went over my head, which I don't like. I've never had any statistics or probability classes, so I don't know how to measure deviations or correlation.

Are there any cheap books on the topic that will help me understand this article better?

How about an intro college course book?  You could probably pick up a used one cheaply, especially the former editions that are no longer used.   Sometimes I see these at the thrift store (in a college town).   Amazon rents and sells used textbooks, too.  Something to check.

Any ones in particular that are good? Really just want to fully understand this article.

You could try Standard deviation - Wikipedia and links therein.

Khan Academy may be a good place to start:

I would think any introductory college textbook at your local Goodwill would do.  You don't have to read the whole thing : )
