A credit card company is trying to understand and even predict annual charges that a customer will make on their cards using 5 variables: annual income (in $1000), household size, years of post-high school education (labeled simply "Education"), hours per week watching television (labeled "TV Hours") and age of the primary cardholder.
They collect data on 100 randomly selected customers and measure the variables described above. They then perform a multiple regression analysis and find the results shown in the questions below.

A. Develop the estimated regression equation relating all of the independent variables included in the data to annual charges. If required, round your answer to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300)
Estimated Amount Charged = Intercept + Coefficient1 * Annual Income ($1000s) + Coefficient2 * Household Size + Coefficient3 * Education + Coefficient4 * TV Hours + Coefficient5 * Age
