I have the following code.

a = RandomInteger[{0, 1}, {10000, 1000}];
Histogram[Total[a, {2}], PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, Automatic}]

I want to scale the y axis by a factor of 1000 in order to normalize. Could you please help me with that?

    $\begingroup$ You need to import into something, i.e., blah=Import... and use that in your histogram. Also, seems like the result you're after is simply using "Probability" as the hspec in Histogram. Lastly, if you want to do such a simulation, no need to generate 10 million RV, just use something like tots = RandomVariate[BinomialDistribution[1000, 1/2], 10000], get the totals directly with only 10000 rv generated... $\endgroup$

Histogram[Total[a, {2}], Automatic, #2/1000 &, 
 PlotRange -> {{0, 1000}, Automatic}, Frame -> True]

enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ I tried the code after exporting and then importing the table into a new nb file. I edited the question. #2/1000& did not work for the imported data. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You have to name the Import as coin1000; also, what are you Exporting: a or Total[a,{2}]? Moreover, Import/Export of data is a different issue than plotting a histogram so in this case you should've posted a new question; don't extend the question, once it was answered, way beyond its initial scope. $\endgroup$
