1. Suppose that a car is described by its color. What scale could be
used for color? Create five terms for color and sketch membership
functions for each term.
For describing the color of a car, a color scale with five terms can
be used. The terms and their corresponding membership functions are
as follows:
Black:
Membership Function: Triangular, centered around 0
Color Range: Dark colors, such as black
Brown:
Membership Function: Triangular, centered around 0.2
Color Range: Brown shades
Light Brown:
Membership Function: Triangular, centered around 0.4
Color Range: Lighter shades of brown
Light Green:
Membership Function: Triangular, centered around 0.6
Color Range: Light shades of green
Yellow:
Membership Function: Triangular, centered around 0.8
Color Range: Yellow shades

III. Timbre (Tone Quality):
Bright, Warm, Mellow
Linguistic terms: Bright timbre, Warm timbre, Mellow timbre
IV. Duration:
Short, Moderate, Long
Linguistic terms: Short duration, Moderate duration, Long duration
V. Tempo:
Fast, Moderate, Slow
Linguistic terms: Fast tempo, Moderate tempo, Slow tempo
VI. Harmony:
Consonant, Dissonant, Neutral
Linguistic terms: Consonant harmony, Dissonant harmony, Neutral
harmony

4. Using rules in Q3 as illustrations, list four more rules and their
associated membership functions.
Rule 1: High-Pitched and Loud implies Excitement
➔ Membership Function: excitement_membership =
np.minimum(pitch_high, volume_loud)
➔ The degree of excitement is determined by the minimum of the
membership values of high pitch and loud volume.
Rule 2: Slow Tempo and Mellow Timbre suggests Calmness
➔ Membership Function: calmness_membership =
np.minimum(tempo_slow, timbre_mellow)
➔ The degree of calmness is determined by the minimum of the
membership values of slow tempo and mellow timbre.
Rule 3: Consonant Harmony and Short Duration leads to Harmony
Completion
➔ Membership Function: harmony_completion_membership =
np.minimum(harmony_consonant, duration_short)
➔ The degree of harmony completion is determined by the minimum
of the membership values of consonant harmony and short
duration.
Rule 4: Fast Tempo and Bright Timbre indicates Energetic Mood
➔ Membership Function: energetic_mood_membership =
np.minimum(tempo_fast, timbre_bright)
➔ The degree of energetic mood is determined by the minimum of
the membership values of fast tempo and bright timbre.

5. Let X be the set of all men and Y be the set of all women. Consider
the linguistic variable “weight” and the set of terms {very skinny,
skinny, just right, heavy, very heavy}. Create membership functions
for these terms for both men and women.
Very Skinny (Men/Women):
The membership function for very skinny individuals peaks at a weight of
10. It gradually decreases as weight deviates from 10, reaching zero
around weight values of 20.
Skinny (Men/Women):
The membership function for skinny individuals peaks at a weight of 20. It
gradually decreases as weight deviates from 20, reaching zero around
weight values of 30.
Just Right (Men/Women):
The membership function for individuals with just the right weight peaks
at a weight of 40. It gradually decreases as weight deviates from 40,
reaching zero around weight values of 50.

Heavy (Men/Women):
The membership function for heavy individuals peaks at a weight of 60. It
gradually decreases as weight deviates from 60, reaching zero around
weight values of 70.
Very Heavy (Men/Women):
The membership function for very heavy individuals peaks at a weight of
80. It gradually decreases as weight deviates from 80, reaching zero
around weight values of 90.
