Class boundaries are defined as the average of the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next class.
For example:
No. of runs (class)
0-4
5-10
10-15
15-20
and No. of batters (frequency)
3
9
10
4
So the upper class boundary for the first class is the average of 4 (upper limit of class 0-4) and 5 (lower limit of next class 5-10), i.e. 4.5.
Similarly, the next boundaries are 10.5, 15.5 and 20.5.
In this way, there's no gap between 2 bars of a histogram, i.e., in this example the bars range from:
0-4.5
4.5-10.5
10.5-15.5
15.5-20.5
(Hope this helps! Took me a while to understand this stuff too :D)
