It depends on whether the trials are dependent or independent. If you are flipping a coin, each trial is completely independent, so the statement is false. If you put 10 red checkers and 10 black checkers in a bag, then pull them out one-by-one without replacing any, the trials are dependent and the statement is true.

Depends, is the only answer.
If, in a test I get an electrical shock when I press the red button, it may affect the button I press next time. So, TRUE
If I drop a ball, it hits the floor. So will the next, and the next. however, that is due to a force independent of the test, so FALSE.

Depends...
Totally FALSE for completely random events such as coin flipping or lottery numbers.
Mostly FALSE for pseudo-random events such as Blackjack. Since the left-over deck changes as hands are dealt, the odds change slightly and have an effect on later results.
TRUE for non-random events such as flipping one card at a time looking for the Ace of Spades.

One trial does not influence another.

assuming the trials are completely independent, false

false. the first roll of the die doesn't influence the second. the lottery would fail if it were true.

True, however if you can understand the legal jargon used to write down orders, you can probably retwist the outcome of the first trial.
