In hypotheses testing, such as other statistical problems, we may confront imprecise concepts. One case is a situation in which both hypotheses and observations are imprecise.
In this paper, we redefine some concepts about fuzzy hypotheses testing, and then we give the sequential probability ratio test for fuzzy hypotheses testing with fuzzy observations. Finally, we give some applied examples.
