Abstract
In this paper, we define a fuzzy variable \(N(t+c) \circleddash N(t)\) using \(\alpha -\)cut representation and consider a necessary and sufficient condition of the Blackwell type theorem based on the Hausdorff metric for general T-related and identically distributed fuzzy variables. We also take into consideration the derived fuzzy Blackwell’s Theorem based on the expected value of fuzzy variables.
