%matplotlib notebook showing a blank histogram

by

Seeing that my comment above has indeed helped someone to solve the problem I will post it as an answer.

The problem occurs if you switch from %matplotlib inline to %matplotlib notebook without restarting the kernel.

Switching from %matplotlib notebook to %matplotlib inline works fine.

So the solution is to either restart the kernel or start a new notebook.

It seems that in some cases it helps to repeat the setting of the notebook backend, i.e. call it twice like

%matplotlib notebook
%matplotlib notebook

An analysis for why that is can be found in this comment
