How do I prove $B_{q} neq emptyset$.
$begingroup$
Suppose that $mathbb P$ is the uniform distribution on $[0,1)$. Partition the interval $[0,1)$ into an equivalence class such that $xsim y$ ($x$ is equivalent to $y$) if $x-yinmathbb Q$, the set of rational numbers.
(a) Show that $sim$ is an equivalence relation.
(b) Show that $mathbb{Q}cap[0,1)$ is an equivalence class.
(c) Find $(pi/10 + 5/6) pmod 1$ up to $10$ decimal places.
(d) Given a subset of $A$ of $[0,1)$ and $xin[0,1)$, define $A_x = x + A = {(x+a) pmod{1} ;|;ain A}$. Then $A_xsubset[0,1)$.
(i) Show that ${piover10} + mathbb{Q}cap[0,1)$ is an equivalence class.
(ii) Show that $x+mathbb{Q}cap[0,1)$ is an equivalence class for any $xin[0,1)setminusmathbb{Q}$.
Ive already answered problem 1 a-d. Now i must prove 2 part a) I'm stuck.
Given $1$, by the Axiom of Choice, there exists a nonempty set $Bsubset[0,1)$ such that $B$ contains exactly one member of each equivalence class. Prove each of the following:
(a) Suppose that $qinmathbb{Q}cap[0,1)$. Show that $B_qnevarnothing$.

$B$ is nonempty, and $B_q$ is just a translation of $B$ by $q$.
Choose $x in B$. Then $x + q mod 1 = x+q - n in B_q$ for some integer $n$.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Yes, i understand that it is a translation, but i am having a hard time figuring out how to put that into words to prove that it is nonempty

If you have an element, and you translate that element, it is still an element. It can't disappear.
