Stellar mass black hole binaries are systems with individual masses of 10-80 solar masses. These systems may be detectable with space-based gravitational wave observatories at megaparsec distances. We investigate the selection effects for the observation of these systems for detectors similar to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. Using a uniform distribution in parameters describing the masses, periods, orientation, sky location and distance, we apply a signal-to-noise threshold cut to determine the characteristics of potentially observable systems in order to determine the biases of an observed sample relative to the model population.
