Figure 1.
A graph of Eigenvalue against Factor Number from 1 to 12 shows a sharp drop from 4.9 at Factor 1 to about 1.7 at Factor 2, then a gradual decline to about 0.25 at Factor 12.The image depicts a graph of Eigenvalue on the y-axis and Factor Number on the x-axis, ranging from 1 to 12. The plotted line shows Eigenvalue values decreasing as Factor Number increases. Factor 1 has an Eigenvalue of about 4.9. Factor 2 decreases to about 1.7. Factor 3 is about 1.3, and Factor 4 is about 1.1. Factor 5 decreases to about 0.6 and Factor 6 to about 0.55. Factor 7 is about 0.48 and Factor 8 is about 0.45. Factor 9 shows about 0.42. Factor 10 shows about 0.38. Factor 11 shows about 0.30. Factor 12 ends near about 0.25, showing a steep early decline followed by a gradual reduction across later factors.
