Do you want to know how to write the code or which method to use? We 
cannot tackle the first question unless we have answered the second, 
which is much more difficult.

Do you really want to a statistical test under H0: element 1 = element 
2? Then you have to make some assumptions re. the *exact* distributions 
of element 1 and element 2 (are you assuming iid?). And if you assume 
the exact distribtion, you do not need to test on equality any more, but 
you want to know if element x is from this distribution, and you can 
simply use the quantiles themselves.
