Types of Data

 1．Continuous Data
      - Data that can be measured on a continuum or scale.
         For example, length, weight, temperature, volume, pressure etc.
      -  In most cases, continuous data gives more information about the 
          process than discrete data.
      - It usually follows normal distribution.
         * To apply normal distribution, data should be continuous. 

  2. Discrete Data
      - Data that cannot be broken down into smaller units.
      - For example, the number of defective parts and defects in the 
         manufacturing process.
      - Defective Data Binomial Distribution
      - Defect Data Poisson Distribution
