Several factors affect the bounce of a basketball including the height that it was dropped from. The bounce factor includes elasticity, air pressure, force applied to it, and how rigid the surface is that the ball is bounced on.
If properly inflated, it will bounce 8 times. Each bounce rebounds about 70%, so 14 feet on the first bounce, then about 10 on the second, etc. until the ball is bigger than the bounce.
The number of times you can bounce a ball in 1 minute will depend on your hand-eye coordination, the type of ball, and how high you bounce it. On average, a person can bounce a ball around 60-80 times in a minute.

Historically, when the ball get's wet with any liquid, it will drop and dribble 2 or 3 times and then stay on the ground. The highest it will probably bounce is about half a foot.
That depends on how fast the player is dribbling the ball. There is not an exact number on how many times a player dribbles the ball.

2 times.
A player can bounce the ball as many times as they like while moving, as long as they do not hold the ball for more than three seconds.
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.
