The answer is: most

In the experiment, the students were told specifically that turning the lever all the way down could definitely hurt other students.

This behavior shows that on the 'normal state' most individuals are reluctant to do somethings that could hurt others. But in the presence of authorities, humans have higher chance to abandon their moral/principles in order to obey the orders.
