A note on the connection between fuzzy numbers and random intervals. (English) Zbl 0742.60003
Summary: Studies relating probability and fuzzy set theories have been developed in the literature. We prove that any fuzzy number determines an intuitive corresponding random interval, and discuss advantages and inconveniences of treating fuzzy numbers as random intervals.
