The image you uploaded is a section discussing the conditional probability density function (p.d.f.) of random variables in a sequence using Bayes' theorem. The content involves:

1. **Conditional p.d.f. of \( Z \) given \( W = (x_1, x_2) \)**, denoted \( f_2(z|w) \), which was calculated as:
   \[
   f_2(z|w) = \frac{1}{2}(2 + x_1 + x_2)^3 z^2 e^{-z(2 + x_1 + x_2)}
   \]

2. **Conditional p.d.f. of the last three observations \( (X_3, X_4, X_5) \)** given \( Z \), \( W = (x_1, x_2) \), denoted \( g_1(y|z,w) \), and calculated as:
   \[
   g_1(y|z, w) = z^3 e^{-z(x_3 + x_4 + x_5)} \quad \text{for} \quad x_3, x_4, x_5 > 0
   \]

3. **Conditional p.d.f. of the last three observations** given the first two, \( f_1(y|w) \), calculated as:
   \[
   f_1(y|w) = \frac{60 (2 + x_1 + x_2)^3}{(2 + x_1 + \dots + x_5)^6}
   \]

4. Finally, the combination of these results using **Bayes' theorem** (Example 3.7.17) to find \( g_2(z|y, w) \):
   \[
   g_2(z|y, w) = \frac{z^3 e^{-z(x_3 + x_4 + x_5)} \frac{1}{2} (2 + x_1 + x_2)^3 z^2 e^{-z(2 + x_1 + x_2)}}{\frac{60 (2 + x_1 + x_2)^3}{(2 + x_1 + \dots + x_5)^6}}
   \]
   Simplified to:
   \[
   g_2(z|y, w) = \frac{1}{120}(2 + x_1 + \dots + x_5)^5 z^5 e^{-z(2 + x_1 + \dots + x_5)}
   \]
   for \( z > 0 \).

This discussion focuses on conditioning random variables in sequence and calculating their conditional distributions using Bayes' theorem.

Would you like further clarification on any specific part or a breakdown of the steps? 

Here are five questions that might help deepen your understanding:
1. How is Bayes' theorem applied in the context of random variables here?
2. What does it mean for the random variables \( X_1, \dots, X_5 \) to be conditionally i.i.d. given \( Z \)?
3. How do the conditional p.d.f.'s \( f_1(y|w) \) and \( f_2(z|w) \) contribute to the final result?
4. Why is the exponential term \( e^{-z(2 + x_1 + \dots + x_5)} \) important in this conditional distribution?
5. How would this method generalize if there were more than five observations?

**Tip**: When working with conditional probabilities, always consider how additional information (conditions) can affect the overall distribution and update your probability accordingly using tools like Bayes' theorem.

Calculate the conditional probability density function (p.d.f.) of Z given W = (x1, x2), with three more observations X3, X4, and X5, using Bayes' theorem in the context of conditioning on random variables in sequence.

This page provides a detailed step-by-step solution on how to calculate the conditional probability density function of Z given W = (x1, x2) with additional observations, using Bayes' theorem. It covers key probability concepts, including conditional probability, probability density functions, and their application in a sequence of random variables.
