Hi all,
I have a list of number {1,3,45,6,4,....etc}, I can make a histogram
of the data, but now I would like to normalize the histogram so that
the area under the histogram is equal to 1. Is there a way to get the
number of bins used in making the histogram and the number of
particles in each bin? Also is there a way to make a function that has
the shape of the histogram? thanks for your help
