How to plot a histogram using Matplotlib in Python with a list of data?

I am trying to plot a histogram using the matplotlib.hist() function but I am not sure how to do it.

I have a list

probability = [0.3602150537634409, 0.42028985507246375, 
  0.373117033603708, 0.36813186813186816, 0.32517482517482516, 
  0.4175257731958763, 0.41025641025641024, 0.39408866995073893, 
  0.4143222506393862, 0.34, 0.391025641025641, 0.3130841121495327, 
  0.35398230088495575]

and a list of names(strings).

How do I make the probability as my y-value of each bar and names as x-values?
