Do you know the range of the values in the signal? e.g. minimum and maximum time. If not then you simply don't have enough information to work it out. If you do then it is just a trivial calculation from the min, max and number of samples, assuming it has a constant sample rate.
 
 
sampleRate = ( maximumVal - minimumVal ) / numVals - 1;
