Interpretation
Intercept line, for example, indicates that the coefficient is significant at 0.1% signficance level (low p-values). It means that we are 99.9% confident that the interecept is true. One the other hand, The variable age has only one star. It means that we are only 95% confident that age is meaningful in explaining home prices. If a variable had no star, it would have meant that we are not confident of the reported coefficient at all. In other words, it would be highly unlikely that changes in the variable with no star is meaningful in explaining changes in the home prices.living area is 75.18. It means that an increase of one square foot of living area is associated with a home price increase of $75, holding the other variables constant. When interpreting coeffcients, make sure to check the unit of the variables in the data.living area = 0). Of coure, living area canโt be zero. Often, interpret is meaningless.hightemp, and precip.Hint: The variables are available in the RailTrail data set from the mosaicData package.

hightemp statistically significant at 5%?The coefficient of hightemp is statistically significant at 5% and we can tell from the three stars put next to the information. And its P value is smaller than 5%.
hightemp?The coefficient of hightemp is 6.1177 and that means that an increase in one degree of temperature will lead to an increase in trail users by 6.
The intercept is not statistically significant at 5%. The p value is much larger than .05.
The intercept is 31.52. This means that when the highest temperature is 0 and there is no percipitation, there are -31 people on the trail.
The reidual standard error is 96.68. This means that the model misses the the data points on average by 97 trail users.
The reported adjusted R squared is 42%. This means that 42% of the variations are explained by the model.
