Some manufacturing is discrete, some continuous.
A discrete random variable (RV) can only take a selected number of values whereas a continuous rv can take infinitely many.
A continuous variable is one that can take any value within an interval (or a set of intervals). A discrete variable is one that can only take certain values.Some further notes:* Often a discrete variable takes integer values, but that is not necessary.* Neither discrete nor continuous variables need be limited to a finite number of possible values.* Frequently, continuous variables are continuous only in principle, and the measuring instruments or recording make them discrete. Eg your height is continuous but as soon as it is recorded as 1.75 cm or 5'9", it is made discrete.

The difference between continuous and discrete system lies in the variables. Whereas the continuous systems have dynamic variables, the discrete system have static variables.
A simple continuous distribution can take any value between two other values whereas a discrete distribution cannot.

ocean depth is a continuous or discrete variable?
