what is the difference between prior and posterior probability?

A posterior probability is the probability of assigning observations to groups given the data. A prior probability is the probability that an observation will fall into a group before you collect the data. For example, if you are classifying the buyers of a specific car, you might already know that 60% of purchasers are male and 40% are female. If you know or can estimate these probabilities, a discriminant analysis can use these prior probabilities in calculating the posterior probabilities. When you don't specify prior probabilities, Minitab assumes that the groups are equally likely.
