One of our partner references has a pretty good sentence showing deduce in it.

"From the crumbs on the floor and the dishes in the sink, I deduced the refrigerator had been raided."

Ok This is embarassing, I can't remember who is the partner reference.

Here is the meaning of deduce so you can see why it was used the way it was in the sentence.

Deduce: Come to a conclusion based on a known fact, evidence or inference.

Not to be confused with induce: To observe and then assert something based on a NUMBER of observable facts not a single fact.

Here is an example: I induce men are still confused about women when they say they don't understand us women.

On the same topic I could say: I deduce Harry is still confused about women when he stands there pondering over whether to buy flowers or a vacuum cleaner for his wife.
