Hello,
Try this:
data=Table[Random[NormalDistribution[10,2]],{10000}];
histo=Histogram[data];
plt=Plot[2000 PDF[NormalDistribution[10,2]][x],{x,4,16}];
Show[histo,plt]

Hi,
I realize that I can generate a histogram from a data set using the
Histogram[{data},bin size] command, yet this only seems to create a
graphic. Is there anyway to fit a function (preferably Gaussian) to
the histogram Mathematica creates?
Thanks!
