Next to each regression coefficient is its (estimated) standard error, about how far off from the true

value we might be. To the right is a t-value (T) computed from the data for testing the hypothesis that the corresponding population coefficient is 0. The pvalues for the test that the population value is 0 are given in the P column. Large tvalues go with small p-values and suggest a term contributes to the model. Here all the variables seem to be doing that. Beneath the coefficients table is a value S that is a typical value for how far points are from the model -- not a single line here, but two. To the right of that we have R2 and adjusted R2. Below that is the Analysis of Variance table that contains F=86.68 and its degrees of freedom (2,89). (The error degrees of freedom, 89, would also be used with t for getting a confidence interval or testing a hypothesis for any of the coefficients.) The p-value here of 1.27997E-21 is for a test of all the independent variables. The null is that none contribute anything. The small p-value suggests that at least one independent variable contributes something. The SS column gives, top to bottom, the sums of squares SSR, SSE and SST. The SSE is used (with the formula and a calculator) for the F-test for testing some subset of the independent variables. Below the main ANOVA table are sequential reductions in the error sum of squares. Height reduces it a lot (31592) and Males much less (2295).
