I'd guess Day Hiking for your first question. Inexperience breeds calls for help.
For the second question, you must distinguish between climbing vs. mountaineering. Anything with a helicopter will be expensive. I'd lean towards climbing.

Agree with above -Day hikers for #1
As for the most expensive (#2)...looking for lost hikers. Thus probably would be day hikers again, with overnight backpackers coming in second.

F. and E. I assume that one of those El Capitan rescues with the helicopter crew is rather costly.
