5.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 card holder.
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.
Important Note: While the scenario above applies to all of the questions below, the output shown in different questions may change from question to question. Please be careful that you use the appropriate output for each question.
For this question, use the following multiple regression output (which may differ from the output in other questions, even though the variables are the same).

All other things being equal, how much do you estimate the annual charges will change for a unit increase in household size? A negative number means the predicted charges will decrease, while a positive number means they will increase.
