> The range has 8000 sequential integers and there are 8 bins. Each bin should contain 1000 of the integers.
:: Why ? That would, of course, be a perfectly reasonable distribution, but which part of the task description requires it ?
:: We know the observed data range, but the range from which this data is drawn may be larger, and the task description doesn't exclude a sparkline which allows some margin, whether small or large.
:: It doesn't, for example, exclude the equally reasonable distribution made by both '''Mathematica''' and '''R''', which both, very sensibly and reasonably, represent the observed values as drawn from a possible range of 0-8000.
:: A stronger horizontal compression of the data in the graph would also be legitimate, without any contradiction of the task description.
:: Even the tiny margin chosen, perfectly sensibly, by R and Mathematica, already yields a different set of sparkline levels to those you are showing, without any departure from good sense or the terms of reference [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 01:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
