If you search how to normalize a histogram its with “density=True”; however, for this exercise you need to use “normed=True” or the code wont be accepted

Great catch. I wonder how often Codecademy updates its lessons to stay current.

Same here when i run it on my most recent JupyterLab below is the error it throws
So I am assuming the codecademy back end is still configured and not upgraded to 3.1
"MatplotlibDeprecationWarning:
The ‘normed’ kwarg was deprecated in Matplotlib 2.1 and will be removed in 3.1. Use ‘density’ instead. "
Can we always interchange True as 1 or is it specific functions where you can use it ?
So this code has been obsolete for over a year now. I got a MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: using subplot also. The time wasted on this chasing a parameter that no longer exists burned this lesson for me 
. Copy the solution code and move on.
Still not updated… Things like this should be caught in a paid service!
I have issue about bins. I set bins equal to 12, which is required in the question. However, I can’t get passed.
