On Windows, those are usually referred to as "drivers." On Mac OS X, they are referred to as "kexts", or "kernel extensions." On Windows, if they are not already built into the kernel, they are called "modules."
It is not a program, but a driver a.k.a. device driver, and yes it is stored on the hard drive
The name for these programs is 'drivers'. They are small programs that provide compatibility with other software and hardware.
It is called drivers.
Drivers.
The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.

specific application of statistics in education - when a teacher computes the grades of students statistic is appiled
A computer monitor - is a piece of hardware.
An operating system is a software program that enables a computer to run. It allows a hardware to communicate and operate with a software. System utilities, on the other hand, is a software program that performs a specific task. Examples of these are anti-virus programs, word processors, and spreadsheets.
Application programs - they are designed to perform specific tasks. Widely used application programs include:- *Word processing*Spread sheet programs*Data base progrms*Graphics programs*Accounting programs*Utility Programs Norton UtilityOperating System- they are a set of instructions that enables the computer hardware and software to interact.
Computer science encompasses a variety of topics relating to computation, ranging from abstract analysis of algorithms and formal grammars, to subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware. Computer scientists study what programs can and cannot do , how programs can efficiently perform specific tasks (see algorithms and complexity), how programs should store and retrieve specific kinds of information (see data structures and data bases), how programs might behave intelligently (see artificial intelligence), and how programs and people should communicate with each other (see human-computer interaction and user interfaces). Edsger Dijkstra said: "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
I didn't know that there were exactly 5 things than an operating system does.An operating system facilitates programs to allow them to run properly on hardware.
An application package is a bundle of two or more computer programs that complete specific tasks. It is a specialized software program that can include hardware combined with remote inputs and outputs.
They do not. An OS is specific to processor and hardware type.
Typically includes the operating system which consists of programs and data that manages the computer hardware and provides common services for efficient execution of various application software. Can also include specific manufacturer resource software, utilities and drivers that are particular to your hardware.
