The strong law of large numbers for fuzzy random variables. (English) Zbl 0571.60039
Sequences of independent and identically distributed fuzzy random variables are considered. It is shown that the strong law of large numbers holds also for fuzzy random variables. This result is used to give a consistent estimator for the expectation of a fuzzy random variable.
