Multiple R squared 2010, interpret, multiple, question, someone

Can someone explain the significance of this term in an ANOVA table? If a question asks that you interpret or use R squared, which would you focus on R squared or multiple?

Also, please correct me if I am wrong, but you should also be aware of the adjusted R squared, which basically states that adding more independent variables will of course raise the R squared, but the adjusted R squared will reduce these effects?

with a single independent variable, multicolliearity doesnt exist so a high R2 is very good.

Single X:

Multiple R = correlation
R^2 = coeff of Determination

**R^2 = corr^2

Multi-regression:

Multiple R-Squared = corr^2

R2 will keep on increasing as you add more independent variables. There will be a time where adding new variables will lead to diminishing returns. This is where adjusted R2 is helpful.
Adjusted R2 will always be lower than R2
