(i) 31/36

(ii) 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of ball pens = 144

Number of defective = 20

So number of good ball pens = 144 - 20 = 124

  (i) probability that Nuri will buy ball pen = favorable outcomes/ total outcomes = 124/144 = 31/36

(ii) probability that Nuri will not buy = defective pens/ total outcomes = 20/144 = 5/36
