store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]

Python is all about formatting, you cant write if statements on a single line.

True and False are not in quote marks.

time = 15

store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]


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