No, it provides probability *densities*, wh
A histogram has area one, not sum one. From ?truehist
Details:
This plots a true histogram, a density estimate of total area 1.

Hi,
This is a very basic question, but I would like to undestand hist(). I
thought that the hist( , freq=FALSE) should provide the relative
frequencies (probabilities), and so they should sum 1, however:
set.seed(2)
ah <- hist(rnorm(100), freq=F)
sum(ah$intensities)
[1] 2
set.seed(2)
bh <- hist(
