Abstract
One of the basic principles of probability theory is that the set of the events of a trial is a Boolean algebra. It is the case when we consider that the trial follows the laws of classical logic. On the other hand, there exist many trials which are based on a many-valued logic. In this case one can accept the hypothesis that the set of the events has a structure of MV-algebra [Di Nola et al., to appear] .
