Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know the mean absolute deviation is a measure of forecast accuracy, but I'm having trouble visualizing how to calculate it from the information given. I'll need to review my notes and examples to make sure I'm approaching this correctly.

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.

Mean absolute deviation? Piece of cake! I could do this in my sleep. Although, I might need to borrow a calculator from the person next to me. My brain doesn't seem to be functioning at full capacity today.

The mean absolute deviation is a measure of the average absolute difference between the forecast values and the actual values. Since the question provides the forecast data, I can calculate the mean absolute deviation myself and determine that the correct answer is C) 3.
