Let's first test which distribution is more likely. FindDistribution[data[[All, 2]], 5, All] [![enter image description here][1]][1] What I did was ignore the binning with the command data[[All, 2]], and doing that doesn't really harm anything other than shift the data by about 23 to the left. This shows us that a normal distribution is likely good enough, and it would take a 3 parameter Weibull distribution to be competitive. Now this may be a three parameter Weibull distribution. In any case, treating it like a normal distribution one can f1 = FindFit[data,c0 PDF[NormalDistribution[mu,sigma], x], {{c0, 1}, {mu, 23}, {sigma, 0.11}}, x] Show[ListPlot[data, Filling -> Axis, FillingStyle -> Thickness[0.018],PlotStyle -> Directive[Blue, Opacity[.3]]], Plot[Evaluate[c0 PDF[NormalDistribution[mu, sigma], x] /. f1], {x, 18, 30}, PlotStyle -> Red]] [![enter image description here][2]][2] Which shows the data with its fit function. There is likely some skewness, so one could try a three parameter Weibull distribution. Given the magnitude of the $x$-values, without a location parameter, I don't think a two-parameter Weibull would work as well.
