You can discover which package contains the program you want using yum provides:

yum provides /usr/bin/ab

Then you will see that ab is in the httpd-tools package.

And now you can install it:

yum install httpd-tools

Beginning with RHEL/CentOS 7, you can also supply a filename contained within a package, and yum will automatically locate and install the corresponding package.

yum install /usr/bin/ab # RHEL 7 dnf install /usr/bin/ab # RHEL 8

    You excluded some packages, or otherwise trashed your yum configuration. Check the /etc/yum.conf and files in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory for inappropriate exclusions. Commented Jun 9, 2013 at 0:48
