For a continuous strictly increasing cumulative distribution function and a uniform distribution on , monotonicity givesThus each transformed draw has distribution function . This is inverse transform sampling. The conclusion extends to discontinuous or non-strictly increasing by its quantile function : right continuity gives exactly when . Independent uniforms produce independent transformed draws, but marginal uniformity alone does not establish independence.
