Actually there are no stars in the sky, stars are in space very far from the sky, while sky is our window.
Number of stars cannot be calculated as we only see the history of stars, not the stars right now. For example if a star X position is 100 year away from earth, this means that if this star had vanished from 90 years, we still can't know. Also If a star Y position is 100 year away from earth we can't know its birth if it was born 90 years ago.
I hope this made it a bit clear.

There are about 3000 naked eye stars from a dark location. When using binoculars or a telescope, one can see many, many more. I am not sure about the exact number human eyes can see through the most powerful telescope, but I know there are at least 4 billion stars in our galaxy alone.

All of them are in the "sky"
How many in total is impossible to say as we cant see them all and many of the ones we can see may have already died because they are so far away that the light has travelled for billions of years to get here
But 100 billion in our galaxy and 100 billion galaxies and 500,000 visible with the naked eye would give you a rough idea

With the naked eye you can see upto 2000 stars on a dark clear moonless night, but with a pair of binoculers countless more stars become visible. Our Galaxy contains about 200 billion stars.

None!!!
If there were any stars in the sky, they would be so hot that our atmosphere would ignite as our planet was ripped apart by gravity!!!
Also, if there was a star in the sky, wouldn't our sky actually be in the star?

apparently there are more galaxies than there is grains of sand on planet earth, if each galaxy had 100 million stars on average then you can prob begin to imagine how many stars there are, i.e a lot.

On a clear night away from light polution you can see a coule of thousand, a pair of binoculars or a small telescope will double this number. the actual number in the milky way is billions and there are probably billions of galaxies

It is said they are innumerable.This may not be exactly true since the number of stars must be definite-finite.However we have not yet evolved a scientific method to count them from earth as the reference point,mainly because some of them fall on the same line,they overlap from enumeration point.
