You don't know; that is why we do NMR experiments............

Explanation:

Symmetry can sometimes be used to interpret an NMR spectrum, see this old spray, and also here.

The above treatment will tell you HOW many signals you should see in the spectrum; it will not tell you where they are. This is the province of experiment.

The intensity of peak, the area under the curve, is of course related to the number of protons that give rise to the peak.
