The cumulative distribution function of the uniform distribution on is
The constant zero has cumulative distribution function . Its continuity points are precisely . For fixed , ; for fixed , eventually. This proves convergence in distribution to zero directly from the definition.
Also, . For every and , . Hence
The convergence in probability conclusion holds for any realization of these random variables on a common probability space; no independence of random variables is needed.
