Here X ≡ Number of internet users who are more careful about their personal info when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot.
X ~ Binomial Distribution with parameters n = 5, p = 0.68
P (among 5 randomly selected internet users, at least 1 is more careful about their personal info. when using public wifi hotspot)
= P (X>=1)
= 1 - P (X = 0)
=1 - 0.003355443
= 0.996644557
= 0.9966 (approx.)
The results could vary depending on what information the subject chose to give so the number may not be exact
