1. **Arrangement**: To find the median, first arrange the data set in ascending (or descending) order:
   - Ordered set: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$.
2. **Identify Sample Size**: $n = 5$ (which is odd).
3. **Median Position**: For odd $n$, the median is the $(\frac{n+1}{2})^{th}$ term.
   - Position $= (5+1)/2 = 3^{rd}$.
4. **Identify Value**: The $3^{rd}$ value in the ordered list is **3**.
