Link	Description
Minitab	You can download a student version of Minitab here. You can also "rent" Minitab for a semester.
Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics.	The goal of this project is to provide interactive, web-based resources for students and teachers of probability and statistics. A former professor of mine, Dr. Kyle Siegrist, at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has created this great site!
Statistical Inference on the TI-82/83/86/89/92+	This page shows how to use the TI-82, 83, 83+, 86, or 89 calculators to do typical statistical computations including computing descriptive statistics, confidence intervals, and p-values. The site also contains programs suited for the TI-series calculators. These materials were developed by Dr. David K. Neal, Department of Mathematics, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY 42101 USA: david.neal@wku.edu.
Cool Java applets	These are on Dr. Beth Chance's website at California Polytechnic State University. Dr. Chance is a leader in the statistics education reform movement. I attended a minicourse given by her and Dr. Alan Rossman of Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA) at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans in January, 2001. Subsequently, I enrolled ASU as a tester institution for their "Data-Oriented, Active Learning, Post-Calculus Introduction to Statistical Concepts, Methods, and Theory" activities. Check out the site http://www.rossmanchance.com/ for more information on their work.
The Gallup Organization Website	Yep, this is the site of the organization that conducts the "Gallup Polls" you hear about so often in the news. Check it out!
The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.	An independent opinion research group, sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts, that studies public attitudes toward the press, politics and public policy issues. This site features poll analysis, reports available online, and a data archive where one can download Pew Research Center's datasets.
Society of Actuaries Be An Actuary	Information on Actuaries (i.e. what is an actuary and what do they do?) can be found on these sites.
