[Tex/LaTex] Trying to fit a table in the width of a paper

tables

I am trying to make the width of the table equal or less than the width of the paper so it will fit in it. I wrote the code of the table below but it doesn't fit in the paper as shown in the figure below, any help??

enter image description here

My code is:

\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{lllll}
                                & \textbf{k-generated} & \textbf{generated goal} & \textbf{male} & \textbf{female} \\
\textbf{NONgenerated}          & NO               & YES                     & YES          & NO             \\
\textbf{AUTOMATIC/generated supervising} & NO               & YES                     & YES          & YES            \\
\textbf{REAL-TIME/generated}       & NO               & NO                      & NO           & YES            \\
\textbf{generated}               & NO               & NO                      & NO           & YES            \\
\textbf{generated LOW}           & 0.9              & 0.74                    & 0.85         & 0.74           \\
\textbf{generated}             & LOW              & HIGH                    & HIGH         & LOW           
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Without resizing, you can use the makecell package and rotate the column heads:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\usepackage{array, makecell, booktabs, rotating}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\bfseries}
\renewcommand\theadalign{lc}

    \begin{document}
Text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
\begin{table}[h]
  \renewcommand\cellrotangle{35}
  \settowidth{\rotheadsize}{ HIGH }
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{*{5}{l}@{}}
    \addlinespace[2ex]
                          & \rothead{\rlap{k-generated}} & \rothead{\rlap{generated goal}} & \rothead{\rlap{male}} & \rothead{\rlap{female}} \\
    \midrule[\heavyrulewidth]
    \thead{NONgenerated} & NO & YES & YES & NO \\
    \thead{AUTOMATIC/ & & & & \\generated supervising} & NO & YES & YES & YES \\
    \thead{REAL-TIME/ & & & & \\generated} & NO & NO & NO & YES \\
    \thead{generated} & NO & NO & NO & YES \\
    \thead{generated LOW} & 0.9 & 0.74 & 0.85 & 0.74 \\
    \thead{generated} & LOW & HIGH & HIGH & LOW \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Table to fit the rest of the paper width

One more solution. In it I stol Alenanno's column heads look and introduce few new package:

booktabs (as Alenanno) for table rules
makecell for setting column's heads
tabularx for determine table width to \textwidth
siunitx for use S column type which gives nice number formating

To limit rows to only one line text, I suggest to reduce font size to \small. With this measures the table becomes:

The complete code (containing only table) is:

\documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{booktabs,makecell,tabularx}
    \renewcommand\theadfont{\small}
    \newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}
    \usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[h]
    \centering
    \setlength{\tabcolsep}{5pt}
    \small
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{c L S[table-format=6.0]*{2}{S[table-format=2.0]}}
    \toprule
\thead{ID}  &   \thead{UCI Dataset Name} 
                &   {\thead{Samples\\(numbers)}}
                    &   {\thead{Attributes\\(numbers)}} 
                        &   {\thead{Classes\\number}}           \\
    \midrule
DS1 & Cardiotocography                      & 2126  & 23    & 3     \\
DS2 & Wall-Following Robot Navigation Data  & 5456  & 24    & 4     \\
DS3 & Spambase                              & 4601  & 57    & 2     \\
DS4 & MAGIC Gamma Telescope                 & 19020 & 11    & 2     \\
DS5 & Letter Recognition                    & 20000 & 16    & 26    \\
DS6 & MiniBooNE particle identification     & 130065& 50    & 2     \\
    \bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
    \caption{Datasets used for empirical evaluation}
    \label{table:1}
    \end{table}
 \end{document}

Edit: ups, I didn't upload last code and image version .... now this is corrected.

How to add a little distance between the text in the right column of the table and the left vertical line of the table

Since you already load tabularray package (note: it had to be loaded in preamble of document), I would use it. For space at begin and end of table just remove @{} as is mentioned in @DavidCarlisle comment:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs, siunitx}


\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htb]
    \caption[Distances of RFID Systems]{Distances of RFID Systems~\cite{Internetquelle2}}
    \label{Tab:Distances of RFID Systems}
\begin{tblr}{hline{1,2,Z} = 1pt, hline{3-Y}=0.6pt,
             vlines,
             colspec={X[1,l] X[3,j]},
             column{1} = {font=\bfseries},
             row{1} = {font=\bfseries}
             }
\SetCell[c=1]{m}    Distances of RFID Systems
