In coordinate space, let $O$ be the origin and $E$ be the plane $x - z = 4$.
If the projection of the origin $O$ onto plane $E$ is point $Q$, and the angle between vector $\overrightarrow{OQ}$ and vector $(1, 0, 0)$ is $\alpha$, what is the value of $\cos\alpha$? (Single choice question, 3 points)
(1) $-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

(3) $\frac{1}{2}$
(4) $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
(5) $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
