/**
 * A sampling query allows probabilistic queries on a Bayesian network. Sampling
 * works by actually simulating the probabilities using a random number
 * generator. A sample size must be specified. The higher the sample size, the
 * more accurate the probability will be. However, the higher the sampling size,
 * the longer it takes to run the query.
 * 
 * An enumeration query is more precise than the sampling query. However, the
 * enumeration query will become slow as the size of the Bayesian network grows.
 * Sampling can often be used for a quick estimation of a probability.
