In continuous class intervals the number at smallest number in one class and the largest number the previous class is the same. For  example, 0-5,5-10,10-15,etc.
But in non-continuous class intervals the largest number in one class interval is the preceding number of the smallest number in the next class. For example, 0-5, 6-10,
11-15. HOPE THIS HELPED, PLZ LIKE!! ;)
