Related Distributions
- If X has a standard uniform distribution, then by the inverse transform sampling method, Y = − ln(X) / λ has an exponential distribution with (rate) parameter λ.
- If X has a standard uniform distribution, then Y = Xn has a beta distribution with parameters 1/n and 1. (Note this implies that the standard uniform distribution is a special case of the beta distribution, with parameters 1 and 1.)
- The Irwin–Hall distribution is the sum of n i.i.d. U(0,1) distributions.
- The sum of two independent, equally distributed, uniform distributions yields a symmetric triangular distribution.

“Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up their pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others—and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet.”
