Problem

Meta Logistics uses a bookstore payment dataset to monitor customer and catalog activity. Write a PostgreSQL query that summarizes valid completed book payments.

A payment counts only when status = 'paid' and amount > 0. Payments must reference an existing customer and book.

Requirements

  1. Return the number of unique paying customers.
  2. Return the number of unique books included in valid paid transactions.
  3. Return the average payment amount per valid paid transaction, rounded to two decimal places.
  4. Return one summary row with the aliases shown in the expected output.
