Sample #1   ----> HR
mean of sample 1,    x̅1=   1462.00          
standard deviation of sample 1,   s1 =    440          
size of sample 1,    n1=   58          
                  
Sample #2   ----> Sales   
mean of sample 2,    x̅2=   1688.000          
standard deviation of sample 2,   s2 =    569.00          
size of sample 2,    n2=   86          
                  
difference in sample means = x̅1-x̅2 =    1462.000   -   1688.0000   =   -226.0000
                  
std error , SE =    √(s1²/n1+s2²/n2) =    84.2769          
t-statistic = ((x̅1-x̅2)-µd)/SE = (   -226.0000   /   84.2769   ) =   -2.68
