:: Why ? That would, of course, be a perfectly reasonable distribution, but which part of the task description requires it ?

:: We know the observed data range, but the range from which this data is drawn may be larger, and the task description doesn't exclude a sparkline which allows some margin, whether small or large.

:: It doesn't, for example, exclude the equally reasonable distribution made by both '''Mathematica''' and '''R''', which both, very sensibly and reasonably, represent the observed values as drawn from a possible range of 0-8000.
:: It doesn't, for example, exclude the equally reasonable distribution made by both '''Mathematica''' and '''R''', which both, very sensibly and helpfully, represent the observed values as drawn from a possible range of 0-8000.
:: A stronger horizontal compression of the data in the graph would also be legitimate, without any contradiction of the task description.
:: A significantly stronger horizontal compression of the data in the sparkline display would also be legitimate, without any contradiction of the task description.
:: Even the tiny margin chosen, perfectly sensibly, by R and Mathematica, already yields a different set of sparkline levels to those you are showing, without any departure from good sense or the terms of reference [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 01:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

:: The task does not require use to assume that the lowest value observed is invariably and necessarily identical to the the bottom of the scale, or that the highest value is invariably and necessarily identical to the top of the scale. (Arguably unlikely that they ever would be). [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 01:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
