Test of significance for binary regression models:

I have estimated both probit and logit regression models, and I want to check to see if a particular result is significant. Specifically speaking I want to test to determine whether or not V9 and V31 are significant. Please show me how to conduct such a test. Here is a sample of my output:

Probit regression Number of obs = 13421
LR chi2(8) = 1255.28
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -6646.2534 Pseudo R2 = 0.0863
