Try this out:
dt:=[2.5, 3.9, 2.9, 2.4, 2.9, .8, 9.1, .8, .7, .6, 7.9, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, .8, 6.5, 1.6, 5.8, 1.3, 1.2, 2.7];
Statistics[Histogram](dt);

You can see the tickmark for frequency/vertical axis is wrong. The leftmost bin hits somewhere more than 0.8. Option "frequencyscale=relative " does no help. But option "discrete=true" or change some setting about bin, such as bincount ..., can help. It seems a bug? Or my understanding about histogram is not right?
