Above install & remove commands are performed using '-a' argument but same can be done using '-m' module and '-a' argument, below the example

Install httpd:

ansible all -m yum -a "name=httpd state=present"

note state=present means if not exist then install

Remove httpd:

ansible all -m yum -a "name=httpd state=absent"

note state=absent means if it exist then uninstall
