4. The Hawaiian alphabet has twelve letters: five vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) and seven consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, and w). For the purpose of this exercise we will define an n–letter “word” as an ordered collection of n of these twelve letters with repeats allowed. Obviously, most such “words” will be nonsense words.   e) What is the probability a randomly selected four–letter “word” contains exactly one consonant?
