Dear all,

I have a surprising problem with the representation of frequencies in a histogram.

Consider, for example, the R code:

b<-rnorm(2000,3.5,0.3)
hist(b,freq=F)

When I plotted the histogram, I expected that values in the y-axis (the probability) varied between 0 and 1. Instead, they varied within the range 0-1.3.

Have you got any suggestion for obtaining a correct graph with probability within the range 0-1?


Note that width * height (and *not* the height solely) corresponds to the probability in a histogram.

Thank you very much!
