In this paper, two sample statistical test of hypothesis for means in normal population with interval data is given. The decision rules whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis are given. Using numerical example, the test procedure is illustrated. The proposed test procedure has been extended to fuzzy valued statistical hypothesis testing for trapezoidal interval data.

By crisp we mean dichotomous that is, yes-or-no type rather than more-or-less type. But there are many situations in which the above assumptions are rather non-realistic such that we need some new tools to characterize and analyze the problem. By introducing fuzzy set theory, different branches of mathematics are recently studied. But probability and statistics attracted more attention in this regard because of their random nature. Mathematical statistics does not have methods to analyze the problems in which random variables are vague (fuzzy). In this regard, a simple and new technique for testing the hypotheses under the fuzzy environments is proposed. Here, the employed data are in terms of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TFN) which have been transformed into interval data using interval method and on the grou...
