We estimate the observed distribution of chirp masses of compact object binaries for the gravitational wave detectors. The stellar binary evolution is modeled using the {\em StarTrack} population synthesis code. The distribution of the predicted "observed" chirp masses vary with variation of different parameters describing stellar binary evolution. We estimate the sensitivity of the observed distribution to variation of these parameters and show which of the parameters can be constrained after observing 20, 100, and 500 compact object mergers. As a general feature of all our models we find that the population of observed binaries is dominated by the double black hole mergers.
