StatsPlot error: Cannot convert Normal{Float64} to series data for plotting

General Usage

Hi all I am trying the plot from StatsPlot but I can’t…

my status:

      Status `~/LasthrimProjection/JupyterLab/Statistics/Project.toml`
  [31c24e10] Distributions v0.25.80
  [f3b207a7] StatsPlots v0.15.4

the code is from GitHub - JuliaPlots/StatsPlots.jl: Statistical plotting recipes for Plots.jl, here it is:

using Distributions, Plots
gr()

plot(Normal(3,5), fill=(0, .5,:orange))

the error:

 LoadError: Cannot convert Normal{Float64} to series data for plotting

You aren’t actually using StatsPlots, but Plots - these are different packages (although StatsPlots builds on Plots).
