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 $n$.
