Let $Z$ be an exponential random variable with mean $1$. That is, the cumulative distribution function of $Z$ is given by $F_{Z}(x)= \left\{\begin{matrix} 1-e^{-x}& \text{if}\: x \geq 0 \\ 0& \text{if}\: x< 0 \end{matrix}\right.$ Then $Pr\left(Z>2 \mid Z>1\right),$ rounded off to two decimal places, is equal to ___________.
