When the conclusion of an argument follows from its premise or premises conclusively, the argument is called deductive. In a valid deductive argument the truth of the premises guarantees the truth of the conclusion.
An inductive argument only makes the conclusion probable, an analogical argument reasons from likeness between cases and also gives only probability, and a circular argument assumes the conclusion in its premises.
The test of a deductive argument is validity: it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false, which is the sense of following conclusively.
