The class boundaries are the lower and upper limits of each class interval. The lower boundary of a class interval is the midpoint of the previous interval, and the upper boundary is the midpoint of the current interval. For the interval 90-99, the lower boundary is 89.5 and the upper boundary is 99.5.
