Hi, i want to make a report for my paper. I don't know how to make different style of page numbering. Here's the configuration based on the picture
For every chapter i want to use arabic style but,
If the section/chapter appear, the alignment of page number at the middle-bottom. If there's no section/chapter, the alignment of page number at the right-bottom. Thank you

You could use packages like fancyhdr or scrlayer-scrpage to change footer (and header).
Example using fancyhdr (assuming a onesided document):
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}% only for dummy text
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand*\headrulewidth{0pt}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[RO]{\thepage}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First}
\lipsum[1-10]
\chapter{Second}
\lipsum[11-20]
\end{document}
Result:
Example using scrlayer-scrpage (assuming a onesided document):
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}% only for dummy text
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}% sets pagestyle scrheadings automatically
\clearpairofpagestyles
\cfoot[\pagemark]{}
\ofoot{\pagemark}
\begin{document}
\chapter{First}
\lipsum[1-10]
\chapter{Second}
\lipsum[11-20]
\end{document}
The result is nearly the same as above.
