Table: Signups
+----------------+----------+
| Column Name | Type |
+----------------+----------+
| user_id | int |
| time_stamp | datetime |
+----------------+----------+
user_id is the column of unique values for this table.
Each row contains information about the signup time for the user with ID user_id.
Table: Confirmations
+----------------+----------+
| Column Name | Type |
+----------------+----------+
| user_id | int |
| time_stamp | datetime |
| action | ENUM |
+----------------+----------+
(user_id, time_stamp) is the primary key (combination of columns with unique values) for this table.
user_id is a foreign key (reference column) to the Signups table.
action is an ENUM (category) of the type ('confirmed', 'timeout')
Each row of this table indicates that the user with ID user_id requested a confirmation message at time_stamp and that confirmation message was either confirmed ('confirmed') or expired without confirming ('timeout').
The confirmation rate of a user is the number of 'confirmed' messages divided by the total number of requested confirmation messages. The confirmation rate of a user that did not request any confirmation messages is 0. Round the confirmation rate to two decimal places.
Write a solution to find the confirmation rate of each user.
Return the result table in any order.
The result format is in the following example.

# Explanation:
# User 6 did not request any confirmation messages. The confirmation rate is 0.
# User 3 made 2 requests and both timed out. The confirmation rate is 0.
# User 7 made 3 requests and all were confirmed. The confirmation rate is 1.
# User 2 made 2 requests where one was confirmed and the other timed out. The confirmation rate is 1 / 2 = 0.5.
