Yes. More air in the Basketball will make it bounce higher.

Yes. Replacing the air with even a lighter gasses, such as helium, results in a higher bounce.

It follows that, removing air or using heavier gasses to inflate a ball will result in a lower bounce.

YES. Adding more air to the ball lessens the particles in the ball to bounce around.

Putting more air in a basket ball will definitely make it bounce higher. If you put light gasses in it like helium then it will bounce even higher. If you take air out of it, it will bounce lower.After a while of putting air in a basketball it starts to bounce lower.

Why does a basketball rise to a lower point each times it bounces?

Because it loses momentum each time it bounces. That is why you use your hand to bounce the ball, giving it more momentum going down which causes it to hit the ground harder. During the spit second it hits the ground, the air pressure in the ball increases, causing it to bounce back up to your hand.
