You need to call for Start-Process with msiexec.exe as file name and add the actual MSI file path to the list of the arguments using /i switch. Using the code you provided, it would look like:

$argumentList = @(
    'ACTION=Install'
    '/q'
    '/i "E:\mysql-installer-community-5.5.62.0.msi"',   
    'INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files"'
    'SERVERTYPE =Full'
    'DATABASETYPE =Mixed'
    'CONNECTIONUSAGE=DSS'
    'PORT = 3306'
    'ServiceName=MySQL'
    'RootPassword=fakepassword123'
    'IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms=True' 
)

Start-Process 'msiexec.exe' -ArgumentList $argumentList -Wait
