Suppose three tests are administered to a random sample of college students. Let X₁,..., Xy be observation
vectors in R³ that list the three scores of each student, and for j = 1,2,3, let xj denote a student's score on the jth
exam. Suppose the covariance matrix of the data is
89 21 71
S= 21 5 17
71 17 58
Let y = c₁x1 + ₂x2 + c3x3 be an "index" of student performance with cf + c3 + c3 = 1 and c₁ ≥ 0. Find the
constants C1,C2,C3 so that the variance of y over the data set is as large as possible.
Enter the values of c₁, c₂,c3 into the answer box below, separated by commas.
