This code is generated from R package called ztable. I fixed a lot of errors in this code however, this $ sign that the log keeps throwing is very strange to me as I don't see any pattern here.
Also I want to make a pretty centered and well spaced table. How can I achieve that?

The main issue is that pm macro must occur in math mode. To minimize the number of $ symbols needed to enter and exit math mode, I suggest you use version of the l, r, and c column types that are in math mode automatically.
In addition, I would restructure the table to allow for separate columns for the counts and percentages.
Don't use begincenter and endcenter in a table environment; instead, use a single centering instruction.
Finally, I would omit most horizontal lines or, at the very least, replace them with a bit of vertical whitespace. And, do load the booktabs package and use toprule, midrule, and bottomrule for the three remaining horizontal lines.

thank you. one last enquiry. i got this symbol (±) initially before I replaced it with pm. I was not rendered and showed error. Do you know how to render it without adding pm? @DavidCarlisle
â Omar113

@Omar113 - I take it that you're using pdfLaTeX. To typeset the Unicode symbol±directly, i.e., without first changing it over topm, you need to use a unicode-aware typesetting engine (such as XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX) as well as a font that includes this symbol.

pm is a math command so the first error you get is about that and recovers by adding $ so your input is equivalent to $pm then you get a second error at the end of the cell that a second $ to close math mode is missing. use $68.7 pm 10.7$ and similarly use math for all the numeric entries whether or not they have pm so they are all set in the same font.

thank you. one last enquiry. i got this symbol (±) initially before I replaced it with pm. I was not rendered and showed error. Do you know how to render it without adding pm? @DavidCarlisle

@Omar113 - I take it that you're using pdfLaTeX. To typeset the Unicode symbol±directly, i.e., without first changing it over topm, you need to use a unicode-aware typesetting engine (such as XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX) as well as a font that includes this symbol.

The main issue is that pm macro must occur in math mode. To minimize the number of $ symbols needed to enter and exit math mode, I suggest you use version of the l, r, and c column types that are in math mode automatically.
In addition, I would restructure the table to allow for separate columns for the counts and percentages.
Don't use begincenter and endcenter in a table environment; instead, use a single centering instruction.
Finally, I would omit most horizontal lines or, at the very least, replace them with a bit of vertical whitespace. And, do load the booktabs package and use toprule, midrule, and bottomrule for the three remaining horizontal lines.

@Omar113 - I take it that you're using pdfLaTeX. To typeset the Unicode symbol±directly, i.e., without first changing it over topm, you need to use a unicode-aware typesetting engine (such as XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX) as well as a font that includes this symbol.

pm is a math command so the first error you get is about that and recovers by adding $ so your input is equivalent to $pm then you get a second error at the end of the cell that a second $ to close math mode is missing. use $68.7 pm 10.7$ and similarly use math for all the numeric entries whether or not they have pm so they are all set in the same font.
