Answer: the information is inadequate

Answer 2

Answer:

The data are inadequate.

Explanation:

In the given question, there are fifteen players on the team.

Based on only a few players out of the total number of players, both Diana and Kinsey can't choose a mascot for the basketball team.

So, the data are inadequate.
