According to the partial regression results, both SAT and GPA have p-values less than 0.05, which means they are individually significant at the 5% significance level. Specifically, the p-value for SAT is 0.000, and the p-value for GPA is 0.004. Therefore, we can reject the null hypothesis that the coefficient for either variable is zero and conclude that both SAT and GPA have a significant impact on admission to Seton Hall University.
