In the case of describing an attribute type which has two values (yes or no) is binominal the same as boolean? A source would be great.

The tag binomial-distribution is quite misleading. Remove it.

I wouldn't say that. Binominal stresses that the item on hand has two names, rather than two values. It is not so appropriate. I'd rather use bivalued for a discrete attribute having two cases, such as black/white.
Boolean specifically applies to variables taking values in $0,1$, which can be mapped to logical values false and true. Boolean algebra (computation with these numbers) parallels the rules of propositional calculus.
Is there really such a word as "binominal"?

I'm pretty sure the OP means binomial...

@MRobinson: I am pretty sure he doesn't know. In any case, not with the mathematical meaning. He also posted on polynominal, not referring to polynomials (though he used the tag).

@YvesDaoust You're not wrong, and I think we are coming from the same page. I guess I just think the OP should be given a break!
