I believe the correct answer is: 65%

In the well-known Milgram study (1963), which was focusing on the on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience, involving participants administering shocks for incorrect answers, 65 percent of the subjects obeyed the commands of the experimenter and administered the most severe levels of shock (up to 450 volts).
