Yes.

It doesn't make sense to have a frequency distribution WITHOUT the categories being mutually exclusive. For example, show a chart of the distribution of heights of children in a school. A given child is one specific height and so his contribution to the chart is in just one category.

An example of where it doesn't make sense: percentage of shirts seen containing each color. You might have a total well over 100% since shirts can contain several colors, and so the colors are not mutually exclusive since a given shirt can be in two color categories. The colors are not 'exclusive' because blue does not exclude white.

What is the guideline for a frequency distribution?

A frequency distribution guidelines suggest that data should be organized into classes or intervals, typically with equal widths, to summarize and display the frequency of data points within each class. The number of classes is often determined using Sturges' rule, which is calculated as (k = 1 + 3.322 \log(n)), where (n) is the number of observations. Each class should be mutually exclusive, and the total frequency should equal the total number of observations. Additionally, the distribution should be clearly labeled, including class boundaries and frequencies, to facilitate interpretation.
