Flipper distribution
Histograms are a great way to inspect a distribution of numerical variables by counting the occurrences of observations in bins. However, one needs to know how to read and plot them properly. Important information may become lost if you have too few or too many bins in your plot.
In this exercise, you'll look at the distribution of flipper lengths among penguins from the penguins
dataset. Let's plot a histogram, play with the number of bins, and maybe you'll learn something new!
The penguins
dataset and the DataFrames
and Plots
packages have been loaded for you.
