A student measures the acceleration A of a cart moving down an inclined plane by measuring the time T that it takes the cart to travel 1 m and using the formula A = 2/T². Assume that T = 0.55 ± 0.01 s, and that the measurement T comes from a normal population and is unbiased.

Generate an appropriate simulated sample of values A^∗. Is it reasonable to assume that A is normally distributed?
