This works on a simple principal of statistics. Everyone in the pool has an equal chance of finding a block. The odds of finding a block improve as more people mine in the pool. A person with higher hash rate will still find a higher amount of blocks than a person with a low hash rate. However, statistically the person with lower hash will have more chance of finding a block while mining along side others than mining completely alone.
