The number of boys and total number of students is insufficient information to answer the question. It could only be answered if you assumed that “not a girl” was equivalent to “is a boy.”

The probability of “not a girl” is 30/50 = 3/5, but the probability of “is a boy” is (30 - “number of children who are neither male nor female”)/50.
