New Battery Not Starting

This is a wierd one but here goes. Being in the army I am gone training a lot so I left the car with my wife. I told her to buy me a new battery since the old one getting tired and needed to be replaced. It was replaced on the 24 of this month. Now the engine is not turning over. I called the dealer and they told me that there could be several problems with it. They did ask me if my wife connected the cables incorrectly when trying to jump start the car. They said if that happen then I would have to check the main fuse box. The thing is I don't know which one to check. I see the fuse for the battery but I am still confused. Can someone help me before I lose my mind here.

So you pulled the fuse for the battery and checked it?
Was it still good?

So does any of the electrical stuff work?
Like when you try to turn in over, does it crank, is the center console clock/lights on?
