python绘制对数坐标图描点_用Matplotlib在对数刻度上绘制直方图

I have a pandas DataFrame that has the following values in a Series

x = [2, 1, 76, 140, 286, 267, 60, 271, 5, 13, 9, 76, 77, 6, 2, 27, 22, 1, 12, 7, 19, 81, 11, 173, 13, 7, 16, 19, 23, 197, 167, 1]

I was instructed to plot two histograms in a Jupyter notebook with Python 3.6. No sweat right?

x.plot.hist(bins=8)

plt.show()

I chose 8 bins because that looked best to me.

I have also been instructed to plot another histogram with the log of x.

x.plot.hist(bins=8)

plt.xscale('log')

plt.show()

This histogram looks TERRIBLE. Am I not doing something right? I've tried fiddling around with the plot, but everything I've tried just seems to make the histogram look even worse. Example:

x.plot(kind='hist', logx=True)

I was not given any instructions other than plot the
