Default actex prac exam #5, no 10

Thanks for any help.
You are given the following information about a commercial auto liability book of business:
(i) Each insured's claim count has a Poisson dist. with mean l, where l has a gamma dis. with a(alpha)=1.5 and t(theta)=0.2.
(ii) Individual claim size amounts are independent and exponentially dist. with mean 5000.
(iii) The full credibility standard is for agg. losses to be within 5% of the expected with probability 0.90.
Using classical credibility, determine the expected number of claims required for full credibility.

The book's answer gives:
For the compound dist. S with frequency N and severity Y, the full credibility standard based on number of claims required is
n0*(Var(N)*E^2(Y)+E(N)*Var(Y))/(E(N)*E^2(Y))=2381.
Isn't the whole denominator supposed to be squared, not just E(Y)?
Thanks.

If you want exposures required for full credibility, yes.

If you want expected number of claims required for full credibility (as the problem specified), no.
