Suppose the distribution of a population is characterized by a parameter \(\Gamma\), whose value is not numerical, as usually is the case, but linguistic. The problem is to make a good guess about \(\Gamma\), especially in the case when only linguistic data are available. In this paper the theory of fuzzy random variables is used to solve this problem: A method for the construction of consistent and unbiased estimates is given.
