fuzzy numbers

Fuzzy numbers are a mathematical way to represent uncertain or imprecise quantities, where there's some ambiguity about their exact value. Unlike precise numbers, which specify one exact point, fuzzy numbers have a range of possible values with varying degrees of likelihood. Imagine estimating how tall someone is; instead of saying exactly 6 feet, you might say "around 6 feet" with some uncertainty. Fuzzy numbers capture this uncertainty, using a gradual transition from most likely to less likely values, making them useful for modeling real-world situations where data is imprecise or subjective.
