  • Abstract
    In his paper “Probability theory needs an infusion of fuzzy logic to enhance its ability to deal with real-world problems”, Zadeh explains how probability theory needs fuzzy logic. We give an example of a real-world problem for which such an infusion is indeed successful: the problem of system reliability
