Expected value is the average value of the cards in one box: each rarity's pull rate times the average TCGplayer market price of its cards, with every other card counted as bulk at $0.05. Magic counts the Play Booster rare slot only, with Wizards' official odds, so its real value is a little higher. Sets without published pull rates are left out.
