The method for solving this problem is given in the solution to
the problem
Snooker.
You have to compare the probabilities of winning a match which is
the best out of 11 frames with one that is the best out of 15
frames. In the first case the first player to win 6 frames wins
the match and in the second case the first to win 8 frames wins
the match.
Assume that each player has steady nerves and his chance of
winning any frame (irrespective of who starts) is constant.
You can use the results in the problem Snooker for the
probability that a player wins a match over 15 frames, given that
his chance of winning any frame is $0.4$. All you have to do here
is to use a similar method to work out the probability that this
player wins a match over 11 frames. It is believed that the
weaker players have a better chance of winning the matches over
eleven frames than they do over fifteen frames. Do your results
confirm this or not?
