Some statistical quantities such as expected value, variance, skewness and kurtosis of the pareto distribution are derived by using fuzzy numbers. In addition to the these numerical characteristics, a numerical study is provided. Furthermore, large claims data from Society of Actuaries (SOA) Group Medical insurance is examined and k parameter of Pareto distribution is obtained by using the maximum likelihood estimation method and the numerical characteristics of this distribution are calculated under uncertainty}, number={2}, publisher={Başbakanlık}
