For a continuous strictly increasing cumulative distribution function and a uniform distribution on , monotonicity gives
Thus 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.
If “uniformly distributed sequence” instead means deterministic equidistribution, the empirical fraction of is the empirical fraction of and tends to . That is an empirical distribution statement, not a claim that the deterministic sequence consists of independent random variables.
