What is y axis in seaborn distplot?

Question

I have some geometrically distributed data. When I want to take a look at it, I use

sns.distplot(data, kde=False, norm_hist=True, bins=100)

Answer 1

From the documentation:

norm_hist : bool, optional

If True, the histogram height shows a density rather than a count. This is implied if a KDE or fitted density is plotted.

So you need to take into account your bin width as well, i.e. compute the area under the curve and not just the sum of the bin heights.
