Abstract :
This paper uses fuzzy average statistics analyze the questionnaire of participant situation for university students in the capital market. We find that fuzzy sample mean, fuzzy sample mode and fuzzy sample median could describe the fuzzy investing behavior of the university students and its average trends. The investing decision of the college students is not related with their gender and bone place, whereas majority has little influence on their behavior. There is significant difference in investing behavior between undergraduate and graduate students. Fuzzy questionnaire and its analysis compensate for the disadvantage of traditional questionnaire and statistical analysis.
