 A probabilistic approach to peak bagging allowing for statistical error in hill heights
Take several such hills and the probability of at least one of them being over 914.4m becomes quite large.
The probability of any single hill mapped at x being above 914.4m is given by F((x-914.4)/s) where s is the standard deviation of the measurement error and F the cumulative normal distribution function.
Foinaven presents a slight problem: the recent mapping at 914m would give a Munro probability of 36%, but information given by the OS to the SMC in 1990 quotes a range of error of 913.8m to 915.2m, which implies the measurement was rounded down from 914.5m (a 914.5 measurement may be rounded up or down).
