Question 3

Describe how fuzzy logic works with an example.

Accepted Answer

Answers will vary.Fuzzy logic works based on the degree of membership in a set (a collection of objects).For example, 4 feet, 5 feet, and 6 feet could constitute a set of heights for a population.Fuzzy sets have values between 0 and 1, indicating the degree to which an element has membership in the set.At 0, the element has no membership; at 1, it has full membership.
