Why the weight of pumpkins is considered to be a continuous variable?

The weight of pumpkins is considered a continuous variable because it can take on an infinite number of values within a given range. Unlike discrete variables, which can only assume specific, separate values (like whole numbers), the weight of a pumpkin can be measured with precision and can vary by small increments, such as grams or ounces. This means it can represent any value, including fractions, within the limits of the measuring instrument used.
