Go here to see a cumulative binomial table:

http://www.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/studium/infomat/WiS_Surulescu_SS09/uebungen/Tabelle_Binomial.pdf
The table reads less than or equal to.

So to find the probability of greater than 7, first find the
probability of the complement event, that it is 6 or less.  Go
down to n=9  and then to 6 in the next column under that and look 
acrsos to the column headed with 0.40 at the top and read .975.

Then subtract from 1 and get

           1 - .975 = .025
