Differentiate between and correctly apply the concept of the error sum of squares (SSE), the standard error of estimate (sε), the coefficient of determination (R^2), and its adjustments.

Recognize the implications of model assessment statistics (such as the value of F, SSE, sε, R^2) in evaluating the fit of a regression model.

Understand the F-test and its application in validating the overall significance of the regression model.
