Answer 1

The first question makes no sense to me.

-- For the most part, a calculator IS a computer, just one with a very specific purpose. That is, specific programming. And, if a computer only has a text editor function available on it, it won't even be able to do a specific calculation for you.

-- Whether a computer or a calculator is faster "when performing calculations" will depend upon the chip speed and the programming they have.

-- The only time human assistance is needed is in telling each WHAT to do. For example, in order to add two numbers, both a computer and a calculator need to be told what the two numbers are and that the operation is to add them together. How easy that is to do will depend on the software being used on the computer. But is that data entry part of the "performing calculations" or is it what occurs immediately before and irrelevant to the question?

#16 = C

Spreading risk IS the whole point of insurance. To lessen the impact of the catastrophic outcomes on a few by dividing its economic impact over the many.
