Use the quantile function for , so a strictly increasing CDF is not required. For any real , the quantile event agrees, up to endpoint null sets, with . Hence
Thus has distribution function and probability density function . This proves inverse transform sampling, including a probability density function with intervals on which the CDF is constant.
