K:
x never equals 7000. Not sure which bar graph you were looking at but none of them have an x value of 7000. Now if you want the x value where y first exceeds 7000, then you can look at the last few lines I tacked on to the bottom of their example (which is the top several lines):
clear
clc;
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format longg;
format compact;
fontSize = 20;
x = -2.9:0.1:2.9;
y = randn(10000,1);
figure(1)
hist(y,x);
xlabel('x', 'FontSize', fontSize);
ylabel('y', 'FontSize', fontSize);
title('Histogram', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Calculate number of elements in each bin
n_elements = histc(y,x);
% Calculate the cumulative sum of these elements using cumsum
c_elements = cumsum(n_elements)
% Plot the cumulative distribution like a histogram using bar:
figure(2)
bar(x,c_elements,'BarWidth',1);
grid on;
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]);
% Find out x when c_elements = 7000
% first find the index.
x7000Index = find(c_elements >= 7000, 1, 'first')
% Then find the x value for that index.
x7000 = x(x7000Index);
message = sprintf('The cumulative sum first exceeds 7000\nat an x value of %.1f', x7000);
uiwait(msgbox(message));
