Is a booster box of EX-03 worth opening?
On average, no: selling the cards from a EX-03 box would get you $24.92, 36% of the $68.71 it costs. A typical box gives $24.23 and only 0.0% of boxes get your money back. If you're after a specific card, buying it as a single is usually cheaper.
How reliable the rates are: fair (community estimate).

Where the numbers come from
The expected value adds up, for each rarity group, the copies in a box times the average price of its cards (the English card, with its TCGplayer price or, if there isn't one, Cardmarket's converted). The simulation opens 10,000 boxes with the same rates.
English wiki box breakdown (no stated sample): per box, 168 commons, 72 uncommons, 38 or 39 rares, 6 Super Rares, 3 alternative arts and a 50% chance of the Secret Rare. No source splits the Super Rare alternative arts from the Secret Rare ones: they are shared out by card count. Hits carry a ±25% range.
