Challenge 2: Linguistic Diversity
Level: Easy
Description: You are a linguist studying linguistic diversity around the world. You have found a dataset that includes information about countries, such as the number of languages spoken, area, and population. The dataset also contains a column called MGS, which refers to the mean growing season in each country (i.e., for how many months per year crops can be grown on average). What are the top 5 countries by the number of languages spoken? What are the top 5 countries by the ratio of languages spoken to population? What are the top 5 countries by the ratio of languages spoken to land area? Finally, do you notice any patterns between the numbers of languages spoken and the MGS values?
Objective 1 (Easy): Learn how to import a CSV file into KNIME.
Objective 2 (Easy): Perform ratio calculations between columns (e.g., number of languages spoken and population size ratio).
Objective 3 (Easy): Sort the resulting table using specific criteria to select top 5 countries.
Objective 4 (Easy): Filter the top rows based on your selected criteria.
