On Fuzziness

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 298))

Abstract

It was in the last year of my degree of Mathematics in the subject of Statistics, and my partners and me have to complete an opinion pull answering through fuzzy sets. I heard a brief explication of what a fuzzy set is and I wrongly related it with a distribution function.
