Hi Farah,

Please see the documentation of TH1::Scale at:

http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TH1.html#TH1:Scale

Look at these 3 lines:

 IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use the errors of this histogram later
 you should call Sumw2 before making this operation.
 This is particularly important if you fit the histogram after TH1::Scale
