life_exp
, the list containing data on the life expectancy for different countries in 2007, is displayed.

.
matplotlib.pyplot
is already available as plt
.

Exercise instructions
- Use
plt.hist()
to create a histogram of the values inlife_exp
. Do not specify the number of bins; Python will set the number of bins to 10 by default for you. - Add
plt.show()
to actually display the histogram. Can you tell which bin contains the most observations?
