In this paper, we introduce the concepts of upper-lower set-valued probabilities and related upper-lower expectations for random variables. With a new concept of independence for random variables, we show a strong law of large numbers for upper-lower set-valued probabilities. Furthermore, we extend those concepts and theorem to the case of fuzzy-set.
Keywords: upper-lower set-valued probability, Set-valued probability, non-additive probability, fuzzy-set valued probability, strong law of large numbers..
