Answer: No, because the sample was not random.

Explanation:

For the results to have been valid, the sample would have had to be random meaning that only some of the people were chosen to participate at random.

Instead, EVERY woman customer was asked which means they were not chosen at random as they should have been. Also, they only surveyed women when they should have taken a proper sample consisting of all customers.
