Hi i am running a regression with a gender dummy variable. but looking at it prior to regrssion i see that the variable is only 15% for its 0 value and 85% for its 1 value. Is this a case for irrelavance of the variable in the model? and if so do i just completely drop it out of the equation?

hi

You can continue to the estimation without dropping the variable
