Okay, I think I've got this. The mean absolute deviation is the average of the absolute differences between the actual values and the forecast values. Let me work through the calculations step-by-step.

No problem, I've got this. The mean absolute deviation is just the average of the absolute differences between the actual and forecast values. Looking at the data, I can see that the differences are 1, 2, and 4, so the mean absolute deviation is 2.33. The answer is C.
