It is hard to say what is "typical", since galaxies vary quite a lot in size. Our galaxy has between 100 and 400 billion stars; some other galaxies are larger, but there are also lots of dwarf galaxies, some of which have only a few million stars. A typical spiral galaxy, like ours, has a few hundred billion stars.

A large group of stars is called a galaxy.

How many star does a typical galaxy have?
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has somewhere between 100 billion and 400 billion stars (it's difficult to estimate precisely). However, it's not really "typical"; it has more stars than any other galaxy in the "Local Group" except for the Andromeda Galaxy, which has about a trillion stars. I'm not sure there really is such a thing as a "typical" galaxy.

How many stars would you find in a typical galaxy?
Well, the phrase "typical galaxy" begs a debate in itself (smile), but the most commonly heard figure for "stars in a typical galaxy" is 100 billion. And many astronomers believe there may be 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. The math gets kind of heavy duty!
How many stars are there in the galaxy?
A typical galaxy may have anywhere between a few million (106) stars, and over a trillion (1012) stars. Our own Milky Way is estimated to have between 200 and 400 billion (2x1011-4x1011) stars.
How many stars does a spiral galaxy have?
Sizes vary, of course. A typical size is a few hundred billion (10^11) stars; some of the larger ones can have more than 10^12 stars. Our galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and it has somewhere between 200 and 400 billion stars. Andromeda is an even bigger spiral galaxy. I could not say how many stars the smallest spiral galaxy would have, or how many the largest. There are cases where two spiral galaxies are colliding.
