Abstract
In this paper we introduce an interval-valued mean for interval-valued fuzzy numbers. We also define a variance for interval-valued fuzzy numbers. We discuss some basic properties of the new concepts. The mean value and variance can be utilized as a ranking method for interval-valued fuzzy numbers.
