Apologies if this is really basic, absolute beginner here.

Please make it easier to help you my writing a Minimum Working Example so we can reproduce your problem. Read this guide for more information on how to structure a question.

Hi. I still have the same problem in the same course on Julia Academy - on 21/January/2022.

I’ve installed Julia 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.

To reproduce the problem, please run the following notebook DataScience/03. Statistics.ipynb at main · JuliaAcademy/DataScience · GitHub

Just echoing this ^, still seeing the same issue on a fresh Julia 1.7.1 install and in the same part of the same notebook from the Academy. would a rollback in StatsBase build help maybe? If so, anyone know the last build that this worked on?

Hi. After spending literally hours to understand the cause of this problem, I can report that now histogram works correctly!

I found the problem being that the DataScience repository contains old Manifest / Project files that some how create the problem.
If you delete them in the repository you are good to go.

thanks @enzomar ! Just to be clear we should delete specific line items in the manifest/project files, or delete them entirely and manually add the packages to recreate them?

Thanks again

#9

Deleting the files did not resolve the issue for me, but thanks for trying to find something!

#10

Same problem here… any chance someone found a solution?
