#1246 — Re: Fit Gaussian function to histogram

Hello,

Try this:

data=Table[Random[NormalDistribution[10,2]],{10000}];
histo=Histogram[data];
plt=Plot[2000 PDF[NormalDistribution[10,2]][x],{x,4,16}];
Show[histo,plt]

Subject:  Fit Gaussian function to histogram

Hi,

I realize that I can generate a histogram from a data set using the
Histogram[{data},bin size] command, yet this only seems to create a
graphic.  Is there anyway to fit a function (preferably Gaussian) to
the histogram Mathematica creates?

Thanks!
