  ABSTRACT: In this review article, we revisit derivation of the cumulative density function (CDF) of the test statistic of the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Even though several such proofs already exist, they often leave out essential details necessary for proper understanding of the individual steps. Our goal is filling in these gaps, to make our presentation accessible to advanced undergraduates. We also propose a simple formula capable of approximating the exact distribution to a sufficient accuracy for any practical sample size.
