Abstract
Zadeh posed several Computing with Words (CWW) test problems such as: “What is the probability that John is short?” These problems assume a given piece of information in the form of membership functions for linguistic terms including tall, short, young, middle-aged, and the probability density functions of age and height. This paper proposes a solution that interprets Zadeh’s solution for these problems as a solution in terms of probability spaces as defined in the probability theory. This paper also discusses methodological issues of relations between concepts of probability and fuzzy sets.
