Analysts must compute ( 1) what proportion of French users placed at least one video call yesterday, and ( 2) today’s average total call duration per U.S. daily-active user. ##### Question Write an SQL query to return the percentage of users whose country = 'France' that made or received at least one call yesterday. Write an SQL query to return total call-time divided by count of U.S. DAU for today. ##### Hints Join call_logs to user_profile twice (caller, recipient). Filter by ds with DATE_SUB/CURRENT_DATE. Use DISTINCT users to avoid double-counting, then aggregate.
