Sample points randomly from a unit sphere. If you generate independent standard normal variables X1, X2, X3 for the three coordinates and normalize by dividing by sqrt(X1^2 + X2^2 + X3^2), then (X1, X2, X3) / sqrt(X1^2 + X2^2 + X3^2) is a uniform random point on the sphere. What is the variance of each coordinate of the resulting uniform distribution on the sphere?
