Question

which formula would produce the average of the values in cells d5 through d9? a =average(d5:d9) b =sum(d5:d9) c =add(d5:d9) d =count(d5:d9)

Explanation:

The AVERAGE function in spreadsheet software calculates the mean of a range of values. Option A uses =AVERAGE(D5:D9), which directly targets the range D5 to D9 for averaging. Option B sums the values, Option C is not a standard spreadsheet function for this purpose, and Option D counts the number of cells, none of which produce the average. Thus, Option A is correct.

Answer:

A. =AVERAGE(D5:D9)
