# Histogram is extremely skewed to the left

everyone. Hope you are all okay.

I am pretty bad at visualizations in Python. I am working on a movie dataset and now I want to understand how values of variable 'vote_count' for every movie in the dataset are distributed. So I am using very simple code:

plt.hist(df_movies.vote_count,bins=7)
plt.show()


And the output looks the following way:

As it is easy to notice the distribution is skewed very much to left.
I realize that I should focus on plt.xticks(), but I tried to play around and the histogram still looked awful.

Could you please give me some advices how to make it more understandable and useful to get insights.

2. You can define the range of your bins. For example you could set the range with a list of two entries range = [0, 5000] as an additional parameter
4. You can try a cumulative and normed plot cumulative = True, normed = True this can be very useful to get a better estimate on statements like "80% of movies have less than 100 ratings" - for cumulative plots I recommend a very large number of bins.
