Problem

Polaris Industries wants to monitor usage trends across products such as Ranger, Sportsman, and RZR vehicles. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates a rolling 30-day average of daily usage for each registered vehicle.

Requirements

Join registered vehicles to their usage records and restrict usage dates to 2025-01-01 through 2025-02-15.
Aggregate multiple usage records for the same vehicle and date into daily_miles.
Use a window function partitioned by vehicle and ordered by usage date to calculate the average of usage observations from the current date and preceding 29 calendar days. AVG should ignore NULL usage values.
Return results ordered by model and usage date.
