de iqual probabilidad

From a (Spanish) academic text examining spatial sound diffusion and asymmetric absorption
Evidentemente en este caso seguro que el libre camino medio debe ser inferior al que se predice mediante la teoría, de igual probabilidad de la reflexión sobre las paredes, que cumple con la curva de Gauss, antes citada.
So the average measured free path will be less than that predicted using (Sabine's) theory...
Does the next bit mean that it is equally probable that acoustic reflection from the walls will comply with the Gaussian curve?

equally probable reflection
It sounds like the theory predicts reflection to be equally probable on the walls, and thus follow a "Normal" (Gaussian) distribution.

: But what is equal to what? And why should Gaussian be a consequence?

Equal (probability of) reflection from the walls. The Gaussian distribution would have to be a consequence of Sabine's theory, with which I am not familiar

Discussion
1. The sound pressure level in decibels;
2. the classical mean free path when there is a diffuse sound field i.e. when there is a uniform distribution of the absorption in the room.
The Church of Aachen may refer to a semicircular room model.
I don't see what is "de igual probabilidad" here! Might it be used in a very non-technical sense i.e "equally, in the same way"?
