Hopefully you have software or a calculator to work these binomial problems.
If not you will have to use z-scores and a Table of z-values.

a. At least 14 had CD players.
P(14 < x <= 20) = 1 - binomcdf(20,0.7,13) = 0.6080
----------------------------------
b. Exactly 9 had CD players.
P(x = 9) = binompdf(20,0.7,9) = 0.0120
----------------------------------
c. More than 17 had CD players.
P(18 <= x <=20) = 1 - binomcdf(20,0.7,17) = 0.03548
