Matplotlib Histogram | Beginners Tutorial on Visualising Well Log & Petrophysics Data Using Python

Histograms are a great tool for exploratory data analysis. They allow us to view the distribution of the data values and identify key interpretation parameters.
In this video, I cover what a histogram is and how to create one using matplotlib, a common Python data visualization library.
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction
0:20 What are histograms?
1:27 Creating Histograms in Jupyter Notebook
1:51 Importing Libraries and LAS Data
4:20 Creating a Histogram Using Pandas
5:35 Creating a Histogram Using Matplotlib
6:45 Customising the Histogram
8:45 Calculating Statistics and Adding them to the Histogram
10:42 Summary
The notebook for this video can be found on my GitHub repository at: github.com/andymcdgeo/Andys_Y...

Hi Sir, Can I know how to ask Colab to table out the Frequency for each bin in the histogram

[@AndyMcDonald42]

Hi Chi, I believe the second answer in this Stack Overflow post may be of use to you. It is the one where the commenter responds with the np.histogram function.
