Good God (if there is one), some good answers, some verbose and circumlocutionary diatribes.
It's quite simple.  The table in Appendix C of ADB is there to provide an indication of the number of people who, if there is no specific information on population figures, might be expected to occupy a room/space/building.  If there is specific information available about the occupancy level then that takes precedence.  If not then the Appendix C table gives indicative figures that can be used to assess adequacy of means of escape.

Stop trying to over simplify something which should be very complicated.
People have been paid very good money to keep the principles of occupancy densities beyond the reach of the normal amongst us.
