Hi All,
I want to use hist to get the relative frequency plot. But the range of
ylab is greater than 1,which I think it should be less than 1 since it
stands for the probability.
Here is my code:
x-c(1,1,1,0,0,1,1,5,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,4,1,0,2,1,1,1

No, it stands for density, as the y label says. The sum of the areas
of the bars is

I'm confused. Could you please help me with
See ?truehist in the MASS package.

Not in this case!
truehist() also computes a density,
and its values on the y axis are not probabilities, either!
hist(*, freq = FALSE)
is fully sufficient here

Of course you are right. The documentation for truehist (and hist)
explains that fact nicely, which is why I thought to send him there.
Sorry for any confusion.
Thanks,
Erik
