How to make the content of a table be centred and also colour a particular box?

Question

I want to have a table like below:

I had tried using a format table:

@Bernard I do not have any preample setup of color. I am quite new to Overleaf. I have \usepackage{helvet} and \usepackage{amsmath}. — aan, Oct 29 '19 at 16:56
@Bernard. I just want to draw a picture similar to picture 1. I already did a table, but not sure how to colour it — aan, Oct 29 '19 at 17:08
Instead of ^1 use \tnote{1} given that the superscript 1 refers to the corrensponding table note. Apart from that, you might want to clean up your preamble since you currently load packages and tikzlibraries more than once. — leandriis, Oct 29 '19 at 19:08
@leandriis, thanks, managed to edit the using \tnote{1} and \tnote{2} I update my MWE now. — aan, Oct 29 '19 at 19:16

With \cellcolor, regular tabular instead of tabularx, a cleaned up preamble and Werner's \rulefiller command:

However, I would rather design your table as follows:

\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{booktabs, multirow, tabularx, threeparttable}

\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht]
\small
\centering
\begin{threeparttable}
    \begin{tabularx}{0.6\textwidth}{ Xl *{2}{S[table-format=2.3,
                                               table-align-text-post=false]} } 
    \toprule
    &   & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Subset}   \\
    \cmidrule{3-4}  
    &   & {1}       & {2}               \\
    \midrule
\multirow{3}{=}{Sample\tnote{1}}
    & 2 & 9.800     &                   \\
    & 1 & 12.200    &                   \\
    & 3 &           & 24.500            \\
    \midrule
\multicolumn{2}{l}{Test Statistic}
        & 0.573     & 0.0\tnote{2}      \\
\multicolumn{2}{l}{Sig. (2-sided test)}
        & 0.449     & 0.0               \\
\multicolumn{2}{l}{Adjusted Sig. (2-sided test)} 
        & 0.449     & 0.0                \\
    \bottomrule
    \end{tabularx}
\begin{tablenotes}[flushleft]\footnotesize
\item[1] Each cell shows the sample average rank of Classification Accuracy (\%)
\item[2] Unable to compute because the subset contains only one sample.
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
    \end{table}
\end{document}

Note: I suggest you to clean-up your document preamble. Some packages are loaded two or more times ...

A solution using siunitx (I made the last two columns S columns, for an alignment on the decimal dot), hhline in he place of the booktabs rules, xcolor with option [table] and a simple \fbox for the outer rules.

Thanks. How to make the diagram appear to be middle? I using \sffamily\bfseries\small \centering still not middle of the page — aan, Oct 30 '19 at 23:57
I hadn't noticed it. It seems there's an interaction between \fbox and tablenotes. I'll post a fix a.s.a.p. — Bernard, Oct 31 '19 at 00:18
@aan: I've posted a fix. The code is a bit longer, but for me, it is centred. — Bernard, Oct 31 '19 at 00:37
Thanks. Brillant. It takes me some time to understand it. Is there anyway to make the font type and size similar to my all my writing in overleaf? I know \renewcommand\theadfont{\small\bfseries}. — aan, Oct 31 '19 at 09:44
