consumer surplus = $2.25

producer surplus = $4

Explanation:

given data

market price = $6.25

willing to pay = $8.75

willing to accept =  $2.25

to find out

consumer surplus and producer surplus

solution

first we get  here consumer surplus that is express as

consumer surplus = willing to pay - market price    1

put here value we get

consumer surplus = $8.75  - $6.25

consumer surplus = $2.25

and

producer surplus will be here as

producer surplus = willing to accept - market price    2

put here value we get

producer surplus = $2.25 - $6.25

producer surplus = $4

i believe that it is a 45% chance.
