    The concept of a mean value (expectation) of a fuzzy number is introduced being consistent with its counterpart in probability theory. Fuzzy numbers (intervals) are viewed as consonant random sets, and the fact that a possibility measure is a particular case of Dempster's upper probability is employed. Upper and lower expectations of a fuzzy number are proposed. Finally, issues related to employing measure-theoretic concepts in possibility theory are mentioned.
