> In order to do this I can use the relation between count and density, but I > would like to know if there is a way for me to predict it upfront. In the code for hist.default, you'll see the line dens <- counts/(n * diff(breaks)) > Here is an example: > > set.seed(242) > z = rnorm(30) > hist_z <- hist(z) > hist_z$counts / hist_z$density # the relation is 15 In your example, n is 30, and the breaks are evenly spaced every 0.5.
