In Excel, what does the formula =SUM(A1:A5) do?

Multiplies the values in A1 to A5.

Adds the values in cells A1 through A5.

The idea being tested is how the SUM function works on a range. The range A1:A5 means all cells from A1 down to A5 in column A. So =SUM(A1:A5) adds the numeric values in those five cells and returns their total. It doesn’t multiply or average; it simply sums everything in that range. If a cell in that range contains non-numeric data, it’s ignored by the sum.

Returns the average of A1:A5.

Sums only A1 and A5.
