 A threshold of total variability explained has been set at 85%. How many principal components must you select? 

A centered dataset with n = 80 observations and p = 5 variables was analysed to reduce its
dimensionality. As part of Principal Component Analysis, the following variance-covariance matrix Σ was
generated
993.944
194.202 26.336 15.803 41.983
194.202 228.703 -32.782 −1.11 36.289
26.336 -32.782 241.454 3.163 -7.056
