Average Time to Session Start

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Given a table of sensor calibration events and a table of user sessions at Hinge health, write a query to find the average time elapsed between a sensor calibration and the start of a session. Match events by user and sensor, using the most recent calibration at or before each session. Exclude sessions without a qualifying calibration.

Output

  1. Return one row with average_elapsed_minutes, rounded to two decimal places.
  2. Include only sessions with a qualifying calibration.
