Deduction, which is a process of reasoning from some statement to reach a logical conclusion: and
Induction, where a set of observations are synthesised to reach a general conclusion.
In deduction the answer is certain, because it is based on some known facts and the decision can follow a clear, logical process. For induction the answer is probable, because you are basing your decision on some information. but you don't necessarily have all the information that you need. You cannot make a completely logical decision from induction.
