Plot a histogram using the index as x-axis labels

Question

I have the following dataframe in python

  Sex  Survived
0  female  0.742038
1    male  0.188908

i would like to plot a histogram, where male and female are the two values in the x-axis and y axis has its corresponding values. Any idea how ? . I am new to matplotlib and pandas, so please help

Answer 1

In my opinion you need DataFrame.plot.bar:

df.plot.bar(x='Sex', y='Survived')

because histogram plot distribution of numerical data.
