Explanation / Answer

When Every variable is used ,

SUMMARY OUTPUT

R^2 =

over-all p-value = 0.001136 < 0.05

hence the model is significant

if p-value of any variable is less than 0.05 , then the variable is significant

here only Local is significant

we remove Male , College GPA , then conduct the regression again

here

which is more than previous value

overall model is significant again

as p-value is 000197976
