When normed is True, hist returns a probability density so that the
integral of the histogram equals one, assuming equally spaced bins.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function
You should be able to verify this with
# trapezoidal integration of the probability density function
from matplotlib.mlab import trapz
pdf, bins, patches = ax.hist(...)
print trapz(bins, pdf)
