You didn't alias the table 'AS shipped_yesterday' nor did you have correct context in 'DATE('now', '-1 days');'

I went back and tested this myself:

--incorrect code
SELECT COUNT(*) 
FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE('now', '-1 day');

--correct code
SELECT COUNT(*) AS shipped_yesterday 
FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE('now', '-1 days');
