Can anyone recommend a good statistical package that is not too expensive or too difficult to master? My immediate need is the ability to test some experimental data to see if it is normally distributed -- that is if it follows (fits) a normal distribution curve. And if it does, what the mean and std dev are.
I would prefer an Excel add-in, but a separate statistical package is also OK. I also need it to have a learning curve that does not require going back to school for an advanced degree. I have seen several recommendations for R, but also caveats about the learning curve.
I do not expect it to be free, but I cannot afford hundreds of dollars.
Thanks for any leads.
