Variance scaling for a difference of two sample means

Let X1,…,X10X_1,…,X_{10} be a random sample from a N(3,12)N(3,12) population. Suppose Y1=16∑i=16XiY_1=\frac16\sum_{i=1}^6X_i and Y2=14∑i=710XiY_2=\frac14\sum_{i=7}^{10}X_i. If (Y1−Y2)2α\frac{(Y_1-Y_2)^2}\alpha has a χ12\chi^2_1 distribution, then the value of α\alpha is _______________
