Here is an example: the following is the wrong result for one of several independent variables in an OLS regression.

Unstandardized regression coefficient: .37
Standard error: .31
Significance: .05

It is mathematically impossible. At least one of the three numbers is wrong. There are missing values for some other variables, and pairwise exclusion is used, but that should not be an issue...
