Answer 1

To find the conditional relative frequency of students walking to school given they live more than a mile away, we need to use the data from the row "Live 1+ Miles Away".

According to the table:
- Number of students living more than a mile away who walk to school: 6
- Total number of students living more than a mile away: 58

Now, we can calculate the conditional relative frequency (CRF) by using the formula:

\[
\text{CRF} = \frac{\text{Number of students who walk to school and live 1+ miles away}}{\text{Total number of students who live 1+ miles away}} \times 100\%
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{CRF} = \frac{6}{58} \times 100\% \approx 10.34\%
\]

Rounding this, the conditional relative frequency is approximately **10%**.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**10%**
