Eremaea, and presumably others, will do the the stats you mention, but you'd 
better have a look to make sure it's just how you want it, if you don't mind 
storing data online for others to see.

Access can do exactly the same graphs that Excel can do, if that's going to 
solve the problem, I think it's actually the same software shared by both 
programs.  Might be worth Googling for how to get started with it.
