How do I use the "in" function in this problem?

I got this far, and I am getting this error message: "Bummer! store_open is not False." I understand that I should also be incorporating the "in" function in this problem but I am not sure how.

membership.py 
time = 15

store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
if time = store_hours:
    store_open = True
else:
    store_open = False

Your time is a int, but your store_hours is a list, so these two can never equal to each other. What you should probably do is 

if time in store_hours:
    store_open = True
else:
    store_open = False

now if your time is anyone in the store_hours list, store_open will turn True
