Difficulty: Easy

Description: You are a linguist studying linguistic diversity around the world. You’ve 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., how many months per year crops can be grown in that country, on average).

Beginner-Friendly Objectives:

  1. Learn how to import a CSV file into KNIME.

  2. Perform calculations between columns.

  3. Sort a table using a specific criterion.

  4. Filter the top rows based on your selected criteria.

Try to answer these questions:

  1. What are the top 5 countries by the number of languages spoken?

  2. What are the top 5 countries by the ratio of languages spoken to population?

  3. What are the top 5 countries by the ratio of languages spoken to land area?

  4. Finally, do you notice any patterns related to the MGS value?
