Build a histogram (1)

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

To see how life expectancy in different countries is distributed, let's create a histogram of life_exp.

matplotlib.pyplot is already available as plt.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Use plt.hist() to create a histogram of the values in life_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?
