Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

We need the number of students who live within 1.5 miles of the school. The relevant columns are "Within 1.5 miles of school" for each commute type: Walk or bike (62), Public transit (38), Car (166).

Step2: Sum the values

Add the three numbers: \( 62 + 38 + 166 \). First, \( 62 + 38 = 100 \). Then, \( 100 + 166 = 266 \).

Answer:

266
