The given real symmetric matrix is Hermitian and has trace one. A spectral decomposition supplies its positivity without relying on diagonal entries alone:
(1)
The remaining normalized eigenvector is with eigenvalue zero. Consequently the spectrum is , every eigenvalue is nonnegative, and the matrix is permissible. Its purity is , so it is mixed.
