Fun with Steve's answer:

His comments on the correct answer has a somewhat minor error, but for the fun of all of us, I'm not going to state it here, but instead make this a sub-quiz to see who finds it.

Yes, they are multiplied. But sum is the result of adding two numbers. Product is what the result is when two values are multiplied.

I suppose one could say we were adding 4444.0 to itself 1111.0 times...

I always assumed we were supposed to answer them without pasting the code into SSMS. Otherwise you're just checking that SSMS works.

If you plug into SSMS, then you're not learning. You're gaining points, but the idea is to test yourself and see if you can answer.
