Detailed Explanation & Answer
The researcher wants to study the effect of socio-economic status of parents on the school drop-out rate. This means:

The study involves a relationship between two variables:
Independent Variable (IV): Socio-economic status of parents
Dependent Variable (DV): Drop-out rate of students
However, the researcher is not manipulating the variables. They are observing and analyzing existing conditions.

Non-Experimental: Because there is no intervention or manipulation of variables. The researcher is not changing the socio-economic status or assigning students into groups.

Hypothesis Testing: Because the researcher likely has a hypothesis (e.g., "Low socio-economic status leads to higher drop-out rates") and wants to test this assumption through data analysis.
