No, this solution is not correct. The variance of an exponentially distributed random variable is the square of its mean, so Var(L) = (1/Y)^2. However, the given solution incorrectly multiplies this by Var(Y) to obtain an incorrect expression for Var(L). The correct approach to find Var(L) involves using the law of total variance. The law of total variance states that Var(L) = E[Var(L|Y)] + Var(E[L|Y]). We already know that Var(L|Y) = (1/Y)^2, so E[Var(L|Y)] = E[(1/Y)^2]. We also know that E[L|Y] = 1/Y, so Var(E[L|Y]) = Var(1/Y). To find E[(1/Y)^2] and Var(1/Y), we need to use the formulas for the expected value and variance of a function of a random variable. These involve integrating the function multiplied by the probability density function of the random variable. Once we correctly compute E[(1/Y)^2] and Var(1/Y), we can plug the correct values into the law of total variance to find the correct value for Var(L).
