Variance of X/Y

Suppose you have two normally distributed, independent random varianbles X and Y, where X has mean $\mu _x$ and variance $\sigma^2 _x$ and Y has mean $\mu _y$ and variance $\sigma^2 _y$. … The question is: what is the approximate variance of this distribution? Below is the sampling histogram: …
