Morphology
The meaning of 'statistical table' is directly and transparently built from 'statistical' (relating to statistics) modifying 'table' (an arrangement of data), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a table showing statistical/numerical data. This adjective+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern and does not involve idiomatic or metaphorical shift.
Etymology
The noun statistical table comes from the simple image of putting statistical 'about numbers' information on a table of rows and columns so each number has its own box. That's why it means 'a set of organized numbers'.
