This might be best determined by experiment. While natural rubber is slightly denser than water and will sink, there will be some small amount of air trapped in a rubber band ball, reducing the density to some extent. Attempting to model and calculate the air content seems somewhat impractical without experimental data, and if you are going to experiment anyway, why not just find the answer directly?

Why do ping pong balls 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.
Would a wooden ball bounce higher or a rubber ball bounce higher if dropped from the same height?
rubber ball
How would you find the volume of a golf ball?
Put an exact amount of water in a measuring cup. Drop in a golf ball. The increase in water level equals the volume of the golf ball, assuming the ball doesn't float. For example, 200mL before ball. 280ml after ball dropped in. Therefore volume equals 40ml or 40 Cubic Centimeters.
What bounces better hard or soft rubber band ball?
you want a soft rubber band ball with strechy rubber bands,but you also want to be carefull that you dont make it to big and to small
Will a paper float?
As long as it can displace a volume of water equal to its mass (ie its density is less than that of the water) it will float. Most paper will have a density less than that of water (or can be so folded) so will float.
Does a rubber band float?
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.
Would a rubber stopper float in water?
i don't know... That's why I'm asking you. soo.. Does a rubber stopper float in water?
Do racquetballs float?
When filled or partly filled with air, tennis balls will float. However, some of the materials in them are heavier than water. If the air is removed, some tennis balls may sink in water, as do rubber tires.
Why rubber duck float in water?
Rubber ducks are full of air, so are buoyant on water.
Does crushed paper ball float or sink in water?
float
Does rubber ball float on oil?
it will, unless the specific gravity of the ball is greater that the oil, if it is, it will sink. But I doubt that it is
Why doesn't a rubber ball absorb water?
Rubber is not porus.
What type of objects will float on top of water?
The types of objects that will float on water are foil, most rubber, and some plastic.
Why the rubber ducks float in water?
They are full of air, so are buoyant on water.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Can plastic ball float on water?
Yes.
Do rubber ducks float higher on salt water fresh water or chlorinated water?
