There are not nine types of cases that Federal Courts have jurisdiction over.
The Federal Courts have the authority to hear cases concerning
1) a Federal Question via 42 USC Section 1331, or
2) where there exists diversity of citizenship between the parties involved via 42 USC Section 1332.
Federal Courts may also exercise supplemental jurisdiction over issues involving state law in 1331 actions as long as the issue arose out of a common transaction or occurrence.

What two types of jurisdiction does the US Supreme Court have?
This question has two possible answers as there are two sets of two types of jurisdiction. One is that there is original and appellate jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction is where the court hears the case at the trial level. Appellate jurisdiction is where the court hears only an appeal from the trial court. The other answer is "in personam" jurisdiction and "in rem" jurisdiction. "In personam" (Latin for "over the person") jurisdiction is where a court has jurisdiction over the persons involved in the lawsuit and is empowered to deal with matters between them. This occurs where a party has filed a complaint and the other party has been properly served with a summons. "In rem" (Latin for "over the thing") jurisdiction occurs when the court has jurisdiction over the particular thing the lawsuit involves and is empowered to deal with all issues involving the thing. An example is where the action is to partition a piece of land or to quiet title to the land or to foreclose on a mortgage. The land is located within the jurisdiction of the court so the court has jurisdiction over all matters involving that land.
Does the US Supreme Court hear mostly original or appellate jurisdiction cases?
Most cases reach the US Supreme Court under its appellate jurisdiction. The only cases the Court currently hears under original jurisdiction involve disputes between the states, which accounts for only a tiny portion of its caseload.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
Is the US Supreme Court appellate jurisdiction specifically defined in the US Constitution?
Not specifically. Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution includes this passage: "In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make." This clearly indicates that Congress can change the Supreme Court's and other federal courts' appellate jurisdiction, either by stripping (removing) jurisdiction over certain types of issues, or by assigning jurisdiction over a class of cases to a particular federal court. For example, the Bush administration stripped appellate jurisdiction (including writs of habeas) over Guantanamo detainees' grievances from the US Supreme Court and assigned it to the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
