The evaluation involves multiplying each point on the belief function by a degree of membership. The degree of membership results from a set of antecedent conditions (0.3 in the example in the article). The result of the multiplication is the lower line on the leftmost figure. The mid- dle figure illustrates the analogous process for light (with 0.7 as the multiplier). The rightmost figure shows the belief function for the membership set "person" after evaluating an implication for "heavy" and an implication for "light." This function results from the lower lines in the left and middle figures.
