No, a ball will float higher in oil than in water because the density of oil is lower than that of water. The buoyant force experienced by the ball in oil is greater, causing it to float higher.
Yes, it does, because oil is lighter than water. The ball will sink more in oil than in water.
Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
When the solid has a lower density than the liquid, it will float in it. The density is the mass divided by the volume. A bowling ball, while heavy, has a lower density than water, so it will float in water. A pebble, while light, has a higher density than water, so it will sink. In general, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes Law). This means that the upward force on a bowling ball in water is equal to the weight of the same volume of water. Since a bowling-ball sized amount of water weighs more than a bowling ball, the upward force is greater than the weight of the bowling ball, and the submerged bowling ball will have a net force in the upward direction.
No it has a higher density than water but the air in the ship helps.
It is lighter than water and is hollow with air.

The golf ball's density is greater than the water, which the water has adensity of 1.
on top. Wood is less dense than water to the point that it float on top of water, and salt water is more dense and has a higher surface tension than pure water so the wood would, if possible, float higher.

objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
The density of fresh water is 1.0. Anything with a density less than 1.0 will float; anything with a density higher than 1.0 will sink. Objects with densities a little less than 1 will float with most of the volume below the surface; objects with very low densities - like a ping-pong ball - will float mostly on top of the water. Human beings have a density very close to 1.0, so we barely float.

sea water has a higher density
Something will sink if it is heaver than the same volume of water, so it depends on the density of the ball. Rock is denser than water so stones sink. However, depending on what a ball is made of it may or may not be heavier than the same volume of water. For example a Golf ball is denser than water so it sinks, but a ping-pong ball is lighter and will float.

If they float in water, then it is because the density of a ping pong ball is lighter than the density of water. The density of water is just below 1, and the density of a ping pong ball is much less than 1.
