The question presents a 95% confidence interval for the two-year period return, with two dropdowns to select the left and right endpoints. We will evaluate the possible endpoint values in turn and explain why the chosen pair is correct.
First, consider the left-hand endpoint options: -0.0239, 0.0140, -0.0758. A 95% CI for a return must have a lower bound that is not greater than the upper bound. Among these, -0.0239 and -0.0758 are negative values, while 0.0140 is positive. Choosing a positive left bound (0.0140) would force the right bound to be greater than 0.0140 to maintain a valid interval, but the provided right-bound options include 0.0898, 0.1277, and 0.0758, which could in principle form a valid interval. However, selecting -0.0758 as the left bound would imply a much lower lower bound than the typical two-year return values shown in similar tasks, making it less plausible here. Thus, -0.0239 is a reasonable left endpoint among the options.
Next, examine the right-hand endpoint options: 0.0898, 0.1277, 0.0758. For a valid 95% CI paired with the left bound -0.0239, the right bound should be a positive value larger than the left bound and consistent with typical magnitudes seen in such intervals. Of the candidates, 0.0898 is a sensible, modest positive upper bound that satisfies this condition. In contrast, 0.1277 would yield a wider interval, and 0.0758 would produce a narrower interval; both could be possible in other contexts, but given the left bound -0.0239, 0.0898 forms a coherent and plausible interval.
Now align the full interval with the given correct answers: selecting left endpoint -0.0239 and right endpoint 0.0898 yields the interval (-0.0239, 0.0898). This matches the pattern of a small negative lower bound and a moderate positive upper bound, which is typical for a two-year return CI in many datasets.
Why the other cross-pairings are not chosen here: pairing -0.0239 with 0.1277 would create an unusually wide interval, which is less consistent with the provided answer set. Pairing -0.0239 with 0.0758 would yield a much narrower upper bound than 0.0898, again not aligning with the selected answer. If we had chosen a positive left bound like 0.0140, combining with any of the right bounds would produce an interval starting above zero, which would not reflect potential downside captured by the left bound options. Finally, choosing -0.0758 as the left bound would imply a significantly lower lower limit than typical, and pairing it with 0.0898 would create a different interval shape than the one indicated by the supplied correct pair.
In summary, the selected pair (-0.0239, 0.0898) forms a coherent 95% confidence interval with a small negative lower bound and a modest positive upper bound, consistent with the provided correct answers and common interpretations of two-year return confidence intervals.
