Both are equally used and equally important. They are both used in conjunction. An application usually has 1 or 2 servlets but has numerous JSPs.
So, if we go by pure number, JSPs are more.
Yes, JSP (JavaServer Pages) and Servlets can be used together in a web application. Servlets handle the business logic and processing of requests, while JSP is used to create the user interface and generate dynamic content. Servlets can interact with JSP pages to pass data and control the flow of the application.
Yes. All sorts of web Applications/websites can be created using JSP and Servlets
You cannot. You display JSP Pages using the help of Servlets. Servlets are of the background classes and you cannot display them
No. But, knowledge of Servlets would be an added advantage if you are learning JSPs

JSP and servlets are used in when you are building a website that provides a server sided service, for example connecting to a database is a service. == == JSP/Servlets are java code that perform the backend operations for web pages. Such servlets run in a java container, such as JBoss or Tomcat. Where you would use these would be in a web-based environment where you wanted to run the backend on Java, as opposed to PHP, Perl, etc. As an example, eBay is run by JSP/Servlet technology. However, JSP/Servlet technology is much more complicated than scripting languages, but well worth learning.
Servlets 3.0 and JSP 2.1
The Tomcat server is a Java based Web Application container that was created to run Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) in Web applications. As part of Apache's open source Jakarta project, it has nearly become the industry accepted standard reference implementation for both the Servlets and JSP API. Written by expert Servlets and JSP software architect and author James Goodwill, this column will feature introductory Web application development issues, Tomcat installation and configuration, deploying Web applications onto Tomcat, Struts and much more.
It is a good to know item. It is not mandatory or necessary. Basic knowledge of core Java is enough to learn JSP and Servlets.
because JSP internally changes in servlet and then follow servlet life cycle, so it is slower than servlet
