Plotting Medians of Bins of Data

I have computed the bins of my data x values and also the median of each bin corresponding to a y value. Below is a sample of my data I used to compute:

My code:

hist1, bins1 = np.histogram(x)
medians_1 = pd.Series(y).groupby(pd.cut(x, bins1)).median()

hist = [129, 126, 94, 133, 179, 206, 142, 147, 90, 185] 
bins = [0.,         0.09999926, 0.19999853, 0.29999779, 0.39999706,
    0.49999632, 0.59999559, 0.69999485, 0.79999412, 0.8999933,
    0.99999265]
medians_1 = [ 14.42145   14.428275  14.427865  14.42535   14.42613 
14.430235 14.441055  14.43472   14.424155  14.4187  ]

I am wondering how I can plot the median values for each associated "bin"?

I tried to plot a scatter plot but I only have the median values and not any x axis values. Also, I can not plot the medians vs. the original x values because they are not the same size.

You could plot the median against the bin centers. The center of each bin can be calculated using this

import numpy as np
bin_center = (np.asarray(bins[1:])+np.asarray(bins[:-1]))/2
