It depends on what you are trying to describe.

These are common words, but in the areas of algebra and statistics, they are terms which need clear definitions.

A variable is represented by a symbol with a value that varies. (see related link)

Attribute data is data which shows the absence or presence of a characteristic. In quality control, a piece is either acceptable or unacceptable. A car is either new or used.

Attribute data can be represented by a binomial variable. Frequently, 0 is off/ no/ absent and 1 is on/yes/ present.

A second definition for "attribute" (not attribute data) when used with a particular object. In this case an attribute can be considered a certain quality or characteristic, like the color of a car.
