(p) value is compared to the a priori alpha level (level of significance for the statistic) – and a determination is made as to reject (p < a) or retain (p > a) the null hypothesis.

There’s a lot of output but concentrate on the QQ-plot and the Shapiro-Wilk to assess normality. The Shapiro-Wilk p-value of 0.5847 is much bigger than 0.05 so normality can be assumed. In the QQ-plot the data points are close to the line of the perfect normal

As bothD’Agostino, Belanger, and D’Agostino(1990) andRoyston(1991d) mention, researchers should also examine the normal quantile plot to determine normality rather than blindly relying on a few test statistics.
