For each positive integer , apply part (i) to the grid . Intersect the resulting probability-one events over all , a countable intersection. Work on this common event.
For , monotonicity of the empirical distribution function gives . ConsequentlyandThe endpoint is itself on the grid. ThereforeFor each fixed , take the upper limit as ; part (i) makes the maximum vanish. Then let . This provesThis is the uniform-sample case of the Glivenko-Cantelli theorem, proved by a finite-grid approximation rather than assumed.
