bins histogram definition python code example

Example 1: matplitlib how to draw a histogram

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
x = [1,1,2,3,3,5,7,8,9,10,
     10,11,11,13,13,15,16,17,18,18,
     18,19,20,21,21,23,24,24,25,25,
     25,25,26,26,26,27,27,27,27,27,
     29,30,30,31,33,34,34,34,35,36,
     36,37,37,38,38,39,40,41,41,42,
     43,44,45,45,46,47,48,48,49,50,
     51,52,53,54,55,55,56,57,58,60,
     61,63,64,65,66,68,70,71,72,74,
     75,77,81,83,84,87,89,90,90,91
     ]

plt.hist(x, bins=10)
plt.show()

Example 2: python - change the bin size of an histogram+

x = np.random.randn(1000)      # Generate random numbers
plt.hist(x, bins=20)           # Select bin size
plt.hist(x, bins=range(-4, 5)) # Select range
