The best response to the validity of the conclusion is:

No, because not all people who own a cell phone have the same probability of being selected.

This is because the survey only included a specific age group (20 to 30 years old), which may not represent the general population of all cell phone owners. Therefore, the conclusion drawn from this limited sample may not accurately reflect the reasons for cell phone ownership among all age groups.
