The phrase "adequacy of the sample" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as research, statistics, or quality control when discussing whether a sample is sufficient for analysis or conclusions.
Example: "The adequacy of the sample was assessed to ensure that the results would be statistically significant."
Alternatives: "sufficiency of the sample" or "suitability of the sample".
The quality of the design, methodology, statistical analysis and conclusions, and the adequacy of the sample size were assessed for all identifiable clinical RCTs.

The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) coefficients were also explored to verify the adequacy of the sample [ 35].

To assess the adequacy of the samples for the analyses of diet variability, the cumulative number of prey types identified, and cumulative diversity of the categorised stomach contents measured using the Brillouin index of diversity (H), were plotted against the cumulative number of non-empty stomachs [32].
The adequacy of the sampling was assessed with Tracer [ 50] using the Effective Sample Size diagnostic (Additional file 2).
Diff-Quik smears were immediately evaluated by a cytopathologist who assessed the adequacy of the samples; the FNA was repeated in case of inadequate or scarcely cellulated smears.
The adequacy of the samples and the absence of PCR inhibitors were monitored by preliminary PCR amplifications with primers targeting the human β-globin gene [ 20].
