Line 15:
#Take ''x''<sub>chosen</sub> to be the random number drawn from the distribution described by ''F''.
 
Expressed differently, given a continuous uniform variable U in [0, 1] and an invertible distribution function F, the random variable <math>X = F^{-1}(U){</math> has distribution F (or, X is distributed F).
