I am a bit biased of course, but my online book could also meet your needs.

Process Improvement using Data. https://learnche.org/pid/

Chapter 4 is about Regression, chapter 2 on fundamental stats, and chapter
5 on designed experiments (including a full online course on Coursera).

It's been a free, Creative Commons licensed resource since 2010, and used
by quite a number of industrial companies and universities daily.

I'm working on converting the R code to Python, so both are available side
by side.  The repo is available on GitHub if anyone is interested in
helping speed that up ;)
