Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the 2020 Election Results

Democrats won the presidency with Joe Biden. While they retained control of the House, they did not increase their majority and performed below expectations in the Senate races. Republicans gained seats in the House and held onto a slimmer majority in the Senate.

Step 2: Evaluate the Options

The provided options summarize the overall outcome. Considering the Democratic presidential win but the less successful congressional performance, the correct choice should reflect this.

Final Answer

The Democrats won the White House but performed less well than they had hoped in congressional races.

There is a pack of four cards numbered 1 to 4. There is also a coin with one side marked as heads and the other tails. As a trial of an experiment, a card was drawn and the coin was flipped. The number (1 to 4) of the card and the side (H for heads and T for tails) of the coin from the flip were recorded. Here is a summary of the data from 550 trials. Outcome 1 H 2 H 3 H 4 H 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 T --------------------------- Number of trials 70 71 66 74 63 69 73 64 Answer each part. (a) Assuming the card was chosen at random and the coin is fair, find the theoretical probability of this event: both drawing the 1, 2, or 3 card and flipping heads, in a single trial. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. (b) Use the data to find the experimental probability of this event: both drawing the 1, 2, or 3 card and flipping heads, in a single trial. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. (c) Choose the statement that is true. With a large number of trials, there must be no difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities. With a large number of trials, there might be a difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities, but the difference should be small. With a large number of trials, there must be a large difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities.

Computational studies have determined the effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for an electron in a particular 5^5 subshell to a high degree of certainty. The table lists the calculated Zeff values for a 1s, 2s, and 2p orbital of boron. From the provided values of effective nuclear charge, estimate the energy, εn, of a 1s, 2s, and 2p orbital of boron. A rydberg (Ry) is a unit of energy approximately equal to 13.6 eV. B Zeff 1s 4.68 2s 2.58 2p 2.42 In terms of the Bohr radius, a0, estimate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus, r̄(n, ℓ), for an electron in a 1s, 2s, and 2p orbital of boron. r̄(1,0)= square a0 r̄(2,0)= square a0 1s= -21.9024 2s=-1.6647 2p= -1.4641
