Abstract: Chance theory is put forward as a tool to deal with a complex system including randomness and uncertainty. As a fundamental concept in chance theory, uncertain random variable is an extension of random variable and uncertain variable. This paper obtains a new law of large numbers for independent uncertain random variables but not necessarily identically distributed.

Keywords: Uncertain variable, uncertain random variable, law of large numbers
