Inference in Bayesian Networks
In Bayesian networks, the main goal of inference is to compute marginal or conditional probabilities for variables of interest, possibly given some observed evidence. For example, you may want to know the probability that the grass is wet, or that it rained, given that the sprinkler was on. These queries allow you to reason about the likelihood of events in the world, based on the structure and parameters of your network.

This brute-force approach works by summing over all possible assignments of the hidden variables, in this case Rain and Sprinkler, while fixing WetGrass=True. For each possible combination of Rain and Sprinkler, the code computes the joint probability using the chain rule as defined by the network's structure: first the prior for Rain, then the probability of Sprinkler given Rain, and finally the probability of WetGrass given both Sprinkler and Rain. The sum of these joint probabilities gives the desired marginal probability for WetGrass=True.
