Density plots can be thought of as plots of smoothed histograms.
The yaxis is in terms of density, and the histogram is normalized by default so that it has the same yscale as the density plot. Note that the distributionspecific function normpdf is faster than the generic function pdf. The area under each curve is 1 they are valid distributions yet the density can be above 1.
