Confidence bound from a pivotal minimum

Let X1,X2,…,X10X_1, X_2, \dots, X_{10} be a random sample from the following probability density function f(x)={2(x−μ)e−(x−μ)2,x>μ 0,otherwisef(x) = \begin{cases} 2(x - \mu) e^{-(x-\mu)^2}, & x > \mu \ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}, where μ∈(−∞,∞)\mu \in (-\infty, \infty) is an unknown parameter. It is given that the observed value of min⁡{X1,X2,…,X10}\min\{X_1, X_2, \dots, X_{10}\} is 1. Using the pivot min⁡{X1,X2,…,X10}−μ\min\{X_1, X_2, \dots, X_{10}\} - \mu, suppose a 95% confidence interval of μ\mu is of the form (c,1)(c, 1), then cc equals ________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
