In O'Jax cereal, there is one gift included in every box.  A pencil comes 50% of the time, a doll comes 15% of the time, a latern comes 30% of the time, and a cardboard game comes 5% of the time.  What is the expected number of boxes one needs to buy to get all of the gifts?

Hint: Find a mathematical expression for the probability of getting any prize, multiply them, and predict the expected value.
