Loaded Coupon Collector
A six-sided die is loaded:
| Face | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.15 | 0.20 | 0.20 | 0.30 |
You roll it until every face has appeared at least once. What is the expected number of rolls?
(A 63-term inclusion-exclusion, a Poissonisation integral, or a simulation of a few million collections all reach the same number.)
Answer format: round to 2 decimal places.
