Integrating fuzzy numbers in analyzing students’ decisions on higher education and employment

A prism fuzzy number is the integration of triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In this artifact, the balancing point and the grading value of the prism fuzzy number is defined. By using prism fuzzy number, we were able to infer the Trapezoidal and Triangular fuzzy numbers. A comparative study with the current model is done to corroborate our findings. An enhanced grading technique for evaluating the prism fuzzy numbers is defined. Finally, the application of prism fuzzy numbers to assess student’s interest in higher studies and employment is illustrated using the MATLAB simulation. A statistical analysis is demonstrated using the Python programme with real-life data.
