How would you visualize the distribution of a numerical feature in a dataset using Seaborn, and what are the advantages of using a kernel density estimate in addition to a histogram?

COVER // HOW WOULD YOU VISUALIZE THE DISTRIBUTION OF A NUMERICAL FEATURE IN A DATASET USING SEABORN, AND WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING A KERNEL DENSITY ESTIMATE IN ADDITION TO A HISTOGRAM?

To visualize the distribution of a numerical feature, I would use Seaborn’s `sns.histplot()` for the histogram, and overlay `sns.kdeplot()` for the kernel density estimate. The advantage of using a KDE is that it provides a smooth estimate of the distribution, making it easier to identify the underlying trends compared to the potentially noisy histogram data.
