I'm a new user trying to perform very simple operation but I'm completely stuck. I'd like to be able to select a number of features on the map and then get the sum of a particular field for only the selected features, on the fly. For example, summing the population fields for a number of counties that I've selected on the map. I don't need to store the sum in any way, I just need to quickly get it for reference.

The Statistics Panel displays various calculations based on a field.
Screenshot is from QGIS 2.18. The stats panel also exists in QGIS 3.0.
