True/False

A random sample of 15 cans filled by the machine reveals a standard deviation of 0.67 ounces.
-Referring to Table 12-16, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the standard deviation of the amount filled by the machine is not exactly 0.5 ounces when using a 5% level of significance.
