Answer 1

To find the conditional relative frequency of students walking to school given that they live more than a mile away, we use the following formula:

\[
\text{Conditional Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of students walking to school who live 1+ miles away}}{\text{Total number of students who live 1+ miles away}}
\]

From the table:

- Number of students walking to school who live 1+ miles away = 6
- Total number of students who live 1+ miles away = 58

Now, we can calculate the conditional relative frequency:

\[
\text{Conditional Relative Frequency} = \frac{6}{58}
\]

Now, we convert this fraction to a percentage:

\[
\frac{6}{58} \approx 0.1034 \quad (when calculated this is approximately 0.1034)
\]
\[
0.1034 \times 100 \approx 10.34\%
\]

Therefore, the conditional relative frequency of students walking to school, given that they live more than a mile away, is approximately **10%**.

So, the response is:

**10%**
