To find the best predicted productivity score for a person with a dexterity score of 32, we can use the regression equation and plug in the value of x=32.

First, we calculate the regression equation using the given data:
y = ax + b
r = 0.986
n = 10 (number of pairs of data)
df = n-2 = 8

Using the critical value of r for α = 0.05, with df=8, we find that the critical r-value is around 0.632.

Next, we calculate the best estimated regression equation:
y = ax + b = 8.244x - 181.645

Now, we plug in x=32 into the equation:
y = 8.244(32) - 181.645
y = 263.808 - 181.645
y ≈ 82.16

Therefore, the best predicted productivity score for a person with a dexterity score of 32 is approximately 82.16.
