Minitab displays one analysis of variance table per response based on the selected model. The table shows the amount of variation in the response explained by the model and the amount of variation left unexplained.

The value under P (p-value) is the most important result to consider in this table. Use the p-value to analyze whether the regression coefficients are significantly different from zero. If the p-value is smaller than a preselected a-level, you can deduce that at least one coefficient is not zero. A commonly used a-level is 0.05.

In this example, Minitab displays two analysis of variance tables - one for moisture and one for fat. The p-values for both responses are less than 0.0005, indicating that the model is significant and at least one regression coefficient is not zero.
