How many students have a test score in the interval 71-80

ok I guessed this to be 13 but ?
what about students who in the 65-71 range
I don't know of any equation to figure this other than just observation

12 students scored in the range 65 to 70
13 students scored in the range 65 to 80

wouldn't that mean only 1 student scored in the range 71 to 80 ?
 
call it a "linear" Venn diagram ...

Diagram of two number lines: the upper segment runs from 65 to 70 labelled 12 in red, with a blue arrow labelled ? from 70 to 80; the lower segment runs from 65 to 80 labelled 13 in red.
 
Why would you read "13 students have grades in the range of 65 to 80" and conclude that "13 students have grades in the range 71 to 80"? 65 is NOT 71!

13 students have grades in the range 65 to 80 but 12 of those have grades in range 65 to 70.
