We want to find the mean of two elements in a set, given that we know the other elements of the set and the mean of the whole set.
The answer is: -490
-----------------------------
For a set with N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} the mean is given by:
Here we know that:
- The mean of the set is 0.
- The set has 1000 elements.
- 998 of these elements are ones, the other two are A and B.
We want to find the mean of the values of A and B.
First, we can start by writing the equation for the mean:
We can rewrite this as:
And we have 998 ones, then:
Now we have B isolated.
With this, the mean of A and B can be written as:
So we can conclude that the mean of the other two numbers is -490.

In fact, every polynomial has real and/or complex solutions. If all solutions are real, we're good. But if not all of them are real, then the complex ones come in couple of conjugate solutions. Since and
are conjugate complex numbers, if one of them is a solution, the other must be as well.
