Answer: These numbers are only estimates of course. Over the years estimates of the numbers of stars in our Galaxy has gradually increased. Good sources
give various numbers ranging from about 200 billion up to 500 billion.
I think the higher numbers are more likely to be correct.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is, very roughly, average.
So, a typical galaxy should contain a few hundred billion stars.
Answer: It is very hard to give a "typical" number. The answer above refers mainly to our own galaxy, but there are lots of galaxies that are much, much smaller - and there are also giants that are much larger than our galaxy. Thus, a typical galaxy may contain anywhere between about 10 million stars, and a trillion (i.e., a million million) stars, although you'll probably find galaxies with more than that.

What is a cluster of stars that looks like a ball and contains up to 1 million stars called?
These are called Globular Clusters.They are not galaxies but instead are dense groups of stars that are part of a galaxy.Our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have about 180 Globular Clusters in it. Many of them are near the center of our galaxy but some also orbit at the outer edges.For comparison, a Globular Cluster can contain 100's of thousands of stars and up to 1 million stars. Our Milky Way galaxy contains all those Globular Clusters plus over 100 billion more stars.
